3. Bringing food back up is another common symptom of dysphagia.
Once the food goes down the throat, the esophagus won’t be able to take it, so it comes back up. When this happens, weight loss will occur. When the food comes back up, your throat will get sore. The sorer it gets it will cause you to be unable to swallow. Even if you try using Epsom salt and warm water and placing a compress under your throat, it will not help.
You can try drinking some broth, but when you drink it, sip it. If that doesn’t work, seek medical attention because there could be other problems why the food won’t go down.
The doctor will take a scan of your throat and esophagus to see what the problem is. The doctor may suggest medications, such as oral prescription medicine that may fix your throat and esophagus problem.
