Hi,
Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
Food pipe becoming narrow at the lower end may be due to any reason either inside , outside the wall of the food pipe or withing the wall of the food pipe. So its important to find out where is the lesion, to form a management protocol for your child. I feel a imaginf study like CT or MRI is imperative
