Hello,
Because the difficulty swallowing is lasting for more than a few weeks, it is recommended to have some examinations to determine the cause of it.
Your doctor may order barium enema and also an upper endoscopy to examine the esophagus (the pipe that connects the throat with the stomach).
During the visit, the doctor will also check your tummy, heart, and lungs to rule out conditions related to these as well.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
