Painful swallowing
For more than a week I am having difficulty swallowing food. My throat and chest hurt when I have to swallow solids, liquids are easy to swallow but having proper food without any pain is not possible. There is some mild dry cough as well. Do not have any acidity or gastric issue currently. The sensation in the throat or chest are of pain and not burning that happens with acidity. Will this go away on its own in a few days? What is it?
