What does a swollen esophogous mean? told by dr. but didn't explain.

Give us more details: Do you have any symptoms of inflammation of the esophagus(esophagitis?). That means you might have acid reflux which can cause esophagitis. But then you will have symptoms of acid burps and it requires endoscopy to make this diagnosis. Did you have an egd test done recently?
