I have been taking oil of oregano supplement for a couple months and have had three incidents in which I wake after a couple hours of sleep to excruciating pain when swallowing. My mouth fills with saliva and when swalllowing, it feels like a scraping against my esophagus. I spend the remainder of the night spitting in the toilet because I can't swallow. I looked up side effects of oil of oregano and it may be the cause. Wanted to reach out to see if anyone else may have experienced these symptoms. Thanks in advance for any comments that may help!

Sounds like an allergic reaction. I would stop it.
Hi Accept it,
I understand you are not supposed to take it for too many days before taking a break from it. it is not something we are supposed to take everyday on an ongoing basis.
Yikes! That sounds really dangerous! I certainly would stop taking it if I were you and seriously consider not resuming it. If you have developed an allergic reaction, the reaction could be worse later on if you resume it.

I've already stopped it and have a call into my doctor.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it!!
