Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The health issues you are having has nothing to do with the present disphagia. It could be due to the peptic ulcer, G.E.R.D. , allergic reaction to some foods as spaghetti, and rice, or may be secondary to the infection in the throat.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, domperidone and antacid gel.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
