General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the pain and swelling in throat with difficulty in passage of food may be related to various possibilities such as:
- Acute inflammation of tonsils
- Adenoiditis
- Narrowing of esophagus
- Neurologic disorders
- Others

Primary check up with ENT specialist and indirect laryngoscopy is mandatory with requirement of Barium swallow as per the clinician concern. Pain relief with:
- Gargles of salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil
- Analgesic as ibuprofen with acetaminophen after meals
- Preferring more liquids to consume
- Quit smoking or alcohol if consuming

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
