A member asked:

After eating i find myself chewing because some of the food comes back and now my throat hurts after swallowing or burping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

LPR: When that stomach acid gets to the throat, it is called laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Check this link : https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15024-laryngopharyngeal-reflux-lpr

Hello. For the last 2 days I have a feeling like there is food stuck in the base of my esophagus. I can swallow but swallowing food goes down slow. I have a very minor sore throat and feel the need to burp a lot. When I burp i can feel the lump again.
