Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I’m seem to be having trouble swallowing at times. I’m not sure if my body is forgetting how to swallow or if the food keeps going down the wind pipe, but I seem to have a choking episode at least twice a month. Seems like I always have a lump in my throat and/or some little flap in the back of my throat stays open. Would you recommend a specialist?

Sometime chronic tonsillitis like condition or Web in pharynx can lead such condition. If mass present in examination than biopsy should be taken for histopathology examination.
