What could cause pain in back when swallowing food or drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: .. back pain that only occurs after swallowing food or drink is related to a problem in the esophagus (erosion or stricture and even perforation) or an inflamed pancreas. this is a symptom that warrants urgent evaluation. Good luck!
