: There may be an irritation of the lining of the throat or esophagus. Try yogurt and soothing neutral fluids to control the discomfort. Discuss the use of a PPI medication prior to meals with your physician.Watch for signs of shortness of breath, vomiting and rash. List ingredients from the salad for discussion with your physician.
