Specifically ask him if it should be swallowed or spit out. My doc told me to spit it out and other members have said to swallow it. The numbing agents could affect something in your swallowing and cause you to possibly aspirate. It could be something to do with the different ingredients. Its always best to follow what your own doctor advises for your own safety.
