Brief Answer:
UPPER GASTOOESOPHAGOSCOPY

Detailed Answer:
hi
I feel you should not neglect this problem at this age. Pantaprazole is a good drug. You should get an endoscopy done to visualise what is causing temporary swallowing issues. There are certain oesophageal conditions that cause spasms and cause difficulty swallowing.
you should meet GI specialist for barium meal x-ray or upper endoscopy. He can prescribe you medicines after noting cause like prokinetic which ease the difficulty.

let me know if you have questions.
