Can minoxidil 5% topical foam cause difficulty swallowing and sore throat? seems odd i know, but happening after 1 week of starting, no other symptoms

Potentially this: could represent an allergic reaction to the medication. Stop using it for a few weeks and see if the symptoms resolve. Then try again and see if they return. If they do you will know. You can probably go for a few more weeks without increased hair growth.
