Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – President Barack Obama visited the hospital Saturday for a sore throat related to acid reflux.

Obama’s physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, said a preliminary exam on Obama’s throat showed swelling, and the results of a subsequent CT scan were normal. “The president’s symptoms are consistent with soft tissue inflammation related to acid reflux and will be treated accordingly,” Jackson said.

The president’s trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, was suggested by Jackson, said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

Earnest added that the President has asked his fellow Americans for positive thoughts. “I ask the nation to keep calm,” Obama said, “there is no need to panic. I am covered by Obamacare.”
