HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If there is pain on swallowing, the most common reason would be sore throat from an acute viral illness.
In this case the use of pain medication would help.

If there is no pain but you are having other difficulty swallowing, then you may need to see your doctor for assessment to determine the cause.

I hope this helps
