Hi,
We need to know if you have an esophageal stricture or not. Since you have stricture you there will be difficulty swallowing. It could have happened due to any condition. That has to be sorted out first. We can treat you only after diagnosis. Without any reports or investigations or examinations, it is difficult for us to tell you anything here. But I am sure it can be sorted out if you go for examination to any doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
