What Causes Terrible Pain While Swallowing?

Dear Doctor, <Im 21 year old, vegetarian and since three days im having unbearable pain in my food pipe (that is where i feel the pain is)3 days prior i woke up feeling something stuck in my throat. (i usually have doxycyclin capsules at night, prescribed by doctor). I had a strong feeling that the capsule was stuck in my throat. I was taken to the doctor and they checked and told that there was nothing and the throat was clear, and there was the wound which was slightly reddish. After returning home I was able to eat normally, but the next day onward am facing terrible pain when i try to swallow food, and now am finding it difficult to eat anything, swallow the saliva or even take a deep breath. Please tell me a remedy to this.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pain in food pipe along with feeling of something struck in throat and on investigation appearance of a wound seems to be most probably due to acid reflux causing irritation of throat and food pipe causing inflammation and redness.
For now you should take Sucralfate as it will help in protecting the wounded mucosa and even reduce pain.
Take Pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning.
Also take Diagene syrup half an hour before meals.
Drink plenty of cool water and other bland fluids.
Avoid spicy and acidic foods and also avoid sharp foods.
For pain take Ultracet tablet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
