Throat pain, food swallowing painful

Hi everyone, i am just back to this forum after a long time. I have UC since 2008. I need help, i have throat pain only when i swallow my medicin and food and its getting worse again and again. I visit my GI so many times and it seems that all his prescribtions aren't working. He told me to take B12 500MG three times a day and also an anti fungs spray for throat. I have used it but not getting any relief. What should i do now ?

Any advice ?
Any medicin ?

Please share.

thanks

I second the ent suggestion, but also check with your primary care doctor.

It could be reflux, or even tightening or spasming of the esophagus. Of course, being referred to an ENT would be a good thing....a quick scope through the nose and into the esophagus can reveal many things if obvious initially.

I can relate to your symptoms, and reflux was revealed after I lost my voice for almost 4 months by my ENT.

Start there.....because your GI isn't doing enough. He should have sent you to an ENT already or set up an upper scope to actually see what's going on.

In the meantime, you could consider to try Zantac (which is an acid reducer, not a PPI) 75mg half hour before eating in morning and supper. That's what my GP had me use after the diagnosis, and it worked. She then had me use 150mg once a day at bedtime.
That way, you will at least see if it can help.

As imagardener stated, all possibilities need to be crossed off the list.

my brother in law and niece have esophageal constricting and spasming.....they have widening procedures done to help the same symptoms as you have.

Keep us posted as to what's happening...
