A member asked:

Could barely swallow. is it cause of acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a GI doctor soon: If you're having difficulty swallowing, it could be due to severe acid reflux or a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis. An upper endoscopy will help to evaluate the cause and you may need to take an anti-reflux medication.
