What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing And Swelling In The Throat Upon Food Intake?
I went to a GI doctor today and I can t remember what he said I might have. it was a long word that ended in -itis, I have trouble swallowing food and he was saying something about me being allergic to certain things in food and when I eat my throat swells. Can you help me with what that name is?

Hi,
Your symptoms suggest. Allergic tonsillitis. You would need to find out the allergens causing the problem.
Avoid contact with the allergen. Take anti-inflammatory & anti-allergy drug over the counter for relief for present symptoms.
Do hot saline gargles,avoid cold,oily spicy and sour eatables. Drink plenty of warm water. Consult an allergy specialist for long term prevention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
