What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing For A Prolonged Period Of Time?

I have had difficulty swallowing for the past 6 months. Sometimes it better than others, its even hard to swallow small pills. My other symptoms include a tight throat which feels like it is filled with mucus. I feel like I need to clear my throat constantly and I ll have bouts of coughing at least once a day. This causes my voice to become hoarse at times and its difficult to talk, i can no longer sing effectively not that I ma good singer anyway. Other symptoms include a burning sensation in my stomach and the center of my chest/sternum. I had an endoscopy and they found that I had Thrush. I was given medication which cured it but all issues are still there. I was also put on ameprazole for a month and then another similar but stronger med for 1 month. The same issues still persist. Please help if you can, I ve list faith in my doctors. Thank you
