Get seen: Your symptoms are vague enough that you need to be examined by a professional to get a diagnosis. I advise you to select an ENT since that doctor can examine your mouth and the internal aspect of your throat. Trouble swallowing may be a moderate trouble, like reflux, or a sign of disease which needs urgent treatment. Please get care soon.
