most likely an allergic reaction to which you are having a minor reaction, have you seen you md yet, that would be my next call, a swallowing evaluation would be a good idea as well

I spoke to my allergist doctor and he asked if I had acid reflux. I do and I am taking Nexium, he said it sounds like vocal chord spasms and this often happens with acid reflux. I will be seeing my internist.
