Suggest Remedy For Narrow Lower End Of Food Pipe

Hi, My Youger sister after the barium swallow test has been identified as having the lower end of the food pipe narrow. The symptoms are she is not able to gulp food initially and now it has become so severe that she cannot even drink water. Whatever she takes she throws it back.
Dialatation of the food pipe was done three years back and it was better but this has reoccured now. Please can you advice what can be done to get this fixed permanently
