What Causes Throat Pain While Eating Food?
I have had randomly-occurring bouts of what I can only assimilate to Food Bolus Impaction, as the symptoms for this condition seem to closely match mine. After about 2 or 3 bites of food, the food will seem lodged in my throat and is extremely painful. While I am able to breathe, swallowing is near impossible and I am salivating profusely. The episode I am currently having is lasting well over an hour, which is longer than most episodes I have had. The last episode was about a month ago, so it isn t chronic. But this is very painful and I am worried.
