Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Since you stated in the query that she is a patient of H pylori . Now your daughter don t feel any difficulty in deglutition and this is the most important point in this case as there is no disease in muscle of throat , so in my opinion there is no need of any M R I or c t scan. The patient is feeling that something is stuck in throat , it may be due to . Esophagitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination as well clinical history of the patient & with the help of esophagoscope. As in my so many patient I have noted that esophagitis develops a sensation in the throat that something is stuck in . As H pylori in itself develops acute gastritis so this is the root cause of all symptoms. Peptic ulcer disease may be the cause so try raising the head of bed 4 inches with blocks. Don t drink or eat 2 hours before lie down . Avoid greasy , spicy ,junk foods, caffeinated drinks , alcohol . Antacid ( having oxetacaine in them ) help. If symptoms sever as in your daughter case then need proton pump inhibitors for long time. In my opinion consult a physician and take treatment . Good luck. Dr. HET
