Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Taking birth control implant can cause some of the side effects. One among them is sore throat, which could lead to difficulty in swallowing, which you are experiencing.
Any such untoward effects need to be attended immediately. It can be treated symptomatically as some of such side effects will subside gradually when treated symptomatically and do not recur later.
Hence, you need to consult your specialist doctor at the earliest for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
