Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking.
You are reporting to have had trouble swallowing and the food gets stuck.
If I were your treating doctor I would recommend to get upper GI endoscopy done to better evaluate the esophagus(food pipe).
Meantime, I would suggest to use:
- plenty of water
- PPI like Prilosec OTC
- antacids like Gaviscon
If you have already done upper GI endoscopy I please let me know the results.
Hope it was helpful to you. Feel free to ask further.
