Hi there.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

This kind of pain could point to problem in your food pipe while swallowing the tablets into your stomach. Sometimes uncoordinated contractions of the makes in the food pipe can cause the pain. It will usually subside on its own

Drink fluids slowly and not forcefully. Eat carefully after properly chewing.

Kindly consult a Gastroenterologist if your pain is not subsiding to rule out abt abrasion or damage to the layperson the food pipe or any muscular or neurological disorders.

I hope I have answered your query.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
