Hi,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The exact management would depend on the cause of the problem that will be revealed by the biopsy report.
Sometime the problem may be a serious one. Till that you should take liquids foods. If needed a stent can be placed in your pipe. However, it would be decided after the report.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
