Is it normal for that little thing that habgs down your throat to swell during treatment? OMG, I keep thinking something it stuck in my throat, well there is and I can not get rid of it. That stupid thing is so big I can feel ti touching my tongue. It is red abd blistery. No wonder it hurts to swallow. How do I get rid of the swelling so I do not gag? It is the most annoying thing about this treatment so far. I am sure it will get worse. Anyone have any remedies???
