I feel like there is something foreign in my esophagus but it doesn't hurt

The esophagus is an important passage for food to enter the stomach. Because the esophagus itself does not have any special function, its main function is transmission. Because all the food people eat needs to pass through the esophagus, esophageal diseases are more common, and the most serious is esophageal cancer. Some patients often feel that there is a foreign body in the esophagus, but they do not feel any pain. What is going on?

If you feel food stuck in your esophagus while eating, don't panic. First observe whether you can swallow it. If you can, don't worry. However, if it is unable to swallow and is stuck in the esophagus for several days, it is best to go to a regular hospital for a check-up to avoid any impact on your body. Because the esophagus is very fragile, if it is damaged, it may cause certain diseases.

What should you do when food gets stuck in your esophagus? First, drink more warm water, which can help you swallow the foreign object. Secondly, if you experience physical discomfort, such as chest tightness, throat discomfort and other symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. If necessary, you can do a gastroscopy to find out the cause of the disease in time and prescribe the right medicine.

So, how can we prevent food from getting stuck in the esophagus in daily life? First of all, we must develop good living habits and chew everything thoroughly before swallowing it. Do not swallow food without chewing it, as this will not only damage the esophagus, but may also cause food to get stuck in the esophagus. Secondly, when eating foods with bones or thorns, you must be careful not to swallow these foods into the esophagus.

To sum up, I believe everyone has a better understanding of the feeling of food stuck in the esophagus. Therefore, in daily life, no matter how busy you are, you must chew your food thoroughly to avoid affecting the esophagus. Secondly, when food gets stuck in the esophagus, you must stay calm and drink plenty of water. If you are unable to swallow food, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid damage to the esophagus.
