What Causes Pain While Swallowing Food?

My son is 28 years old and is having a problem swallowing food. He says his throat does not hurt, but when trying to swallow, it s hard to get the food down. Almost like it gets stuck. This has been occurring for the last 3 days. He s mainly eating yogurt and other soft foods. He recently a cold and couch but seems to be over that. What can be the cause for this and what can be done?
