General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though it needs a physical examination to diagnose the condition, I would advise you to go for an anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor, and also a thyroid function test. If the tests are normal and the problem persists, you might have to get it assessed by your family physician in person.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
