Reflux: Reflux symptoms to the throat can take quite a while to get better. In fact, I counsel patients that it could take months. Doesn't usually mean you will choke with eating food or getting a barium swallow test. You should be just fine for a scope in the ENT office. Best of luck

Can GERD give you a scratchy throat after swallowing food? Sometimes I'll take forever to chew because of my fear of choking, but my throat will force me to swallow and my throat will give me a scratchy feel, causing me to cough. Is this common?
