Could Difficulty In Swallowing Be Due To Bruised Esophagus?
I took a pill last night and it felt like it got stuck. I drank about 16 oz. of water and it was better. This morning there is mild discomfort when I swallow. This is right at the base of my throat where that indentation is. Have I bruised my esophagus?

Thanksforyourquery. Ihavegonethroughyourquery.
The difficulty in swallowing can be because of any abrasion caused by the tablet or because of throat infection. Nothing to be panic. It will subside in 3 to 5 days. If it is not subsiding then consult an ENTsurgeon and get it evaluated. Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care
