A member asked:

Good morning i am fine and pain free - when i eat something it feels like the food get stuck and its very sore liquids and soft foods are fine what can it possibly be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can examine: New swallowing symptoms may be from a throat infection (antibiotics are needed if caused by strep bacteria) or some other cause such as stomach acid reflux, an object stuck in the throat, a hyperactive gag reflex, a lack of saliva, a throat muscle coordination problem, a tumor, etc... Usually, a person sees her primary care doctor for evaluation, who can then refer to ENT and GI doctors if needed.
