What Do Ulcers In The Throat Indicate?
I went to ER because a small meatball got stuck in my throat. A doctor did a quick endoscopy under very mild sedation. When it was finished he had got it out but he said he saw 2 little ulcers there and gave me a rx for omeprazole andurn see him in a month because those ulcers might turn Into cancer sometimes. I am terrified because I am a healthy woman. I recently have been not chewing well because I need some dental work.

Hello,
Ulcers in the throat can be due to the meatball that got struck causing injury to the mucosa of the food pipe. It can also be due to severe acid reflux. So my suggestion is to wait for a month and then consult a Physician and get evaluated. If ulcers are still present then get a biopsy done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
