Suggest Remedy For Chronic Belching With Feeling Of Obstruction In Throat

Hello Doctor,I am a 36 year old female. For the last 6 months I have been experiencing a lot of belching, feeling of gas trapped in my throat, feeling like food is stuck in my throat especially after eating dry goods like bread, chronic coughing, sore throat, and feeling like there is pressure under my Adan s Apple area (where the Adam s apple would be on a man, underneath there). My doctor originally thought it was acid reflux so she put me on 3 months of Omeprazole, but it didn t fully help. I went to an ENT who saw some minor swelling, but nothing severe and could not confirm whether it was acid causing the swelling. I m not sure what could be causing this and whether I need an endoscopy to rule anything out. I m just not sure. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

Actually, quite a few possible treatments. one set would be to lower the gas production. this might be the type of food, the amount, carbonation, etc. but also SIMETHICONE lowers bubbles. Then changing the motility of the food. Spiciness has an effect but hard to say. a glass of water or tea after eating has an effect AND cholinergic medicines such as metochlopramide are some options.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
