How To Overcome The Hurting Caused During Swallowing?

Swallowing. When I haven't eaten all day , then when I do , I swallow and I can feel it go down , but then I feel a knot working it's way up my throat. It hurts very much. During this time when the knot moves up and Is working its way down I try to swallow saliva,and the whole procedure happens again. The knot and pain. What my problem. Just seen I have to submit money. Thanks. I can't do that. Thought this was a site to help people. Guess not. It's all about money. Thank u for UR time tho

Hello dear,

You do not need to pay any money for asking your queries in this forum.
They are absolutely free.

According to the case history as mentioned in your post, the symptoms can be attributed to the presence of a mass in the Pyriform fossa.
Pyriform fossa is a small pouch like structure present on either side of the throat.
And growth of any mass or dislodgement of food into the pouch can produce sensations of something stuck in the throat.
It can be detected with the help of an endoscope & then subsequently managed.
Your symptoms will be relieved with this.
So, kindly consult an ENT Specialist for the same.

Till then, you can take Tablet Pantoprazole & Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food) maintain adequate hydration & good nutrition and avoid stress.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
