Why Do I Have Pricking Sensation After Eating?

Hello Sir/Madam, I have a needle pricking like sensation while eating food or drinking water. It s been there for almost 4 months , I consulted 3 Doctors(2 general physician, 1 ENT specialist), ENT specialist said it might be some infection or acidity, and he prescribed some tablets. From that time my mother too started sweet lime juice with glucose, for a month the pain was not there , but it again started from yesterday. Please help me Doctor.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Sometimes needle pricking sensation is felt while eating food / drinking water, this may be due to anxiety as well . you should take sweet lime juice with glucose and u may do some relaxation excercises to keep you destressed. If it would have been infection it would have been cured/ if it would have been acidity you may not have been facing problems while drinking plain water, also sweet lime juice is supposed to be acidic in nature. you may consult a psychiatrist for this problems just one or two medications will help you within couple of weeks. One thing i can assure you with this much history provided that there is nothing to worry about, this needle pain is result of your increased stress level. Hope this answer helps you. Any more questions are welcome.
