throat pain difficulty swallowing

I had a sore throat for a couple months and a feeling of a lump in my throat with difficulty swallowing. Turned out to be acid reflux. Not sure if that's what you have, but thought I'd mention.

And after 3 years that went away and then I started to get this heat sensation in my throat when ever I exhaled that went away after a month or two and then the swallowing problems started. I just wanted know if all these things could be connected and if it is it serious?

My dog seems to have a lot of difficulty swallowing when he eats or drinks and he ends up hacking and coughing most of it up on the floor.

Painful swallowing is called odynophagia. Difficulty in swallowing is dysphagia. Reflux (GERD) is a common cause. Lump in the throat and extra production of phlegm are other common symptoms of GERD. Your ENT should be well equipped to identify it. Is the pain excruciating, like a charley horse? If so, it sounds like cricopharyngeal spasms. If not, count your blessings.

persistent sore throat,pain when swallowing,difficulty swallowing or frequent choking on food,bad breath,lumps in the neck,persistent ear pain (called referred pain; the source of the pain is not the ear) and change in voice quality. ref:http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_gGEC/is_0012/ai_2699001237/pg_2 Keeping in mind your history of acid reflux in all probability this has to do with GERD. Your symptoms also occur only with certain food substances which also favors a diagnosis of GERD.

For the past 24 hours I've been having difficulty with swallowing. I've had this issue before, but it usually comes on in the evening or when I'm going to sleep. But this time it's been an entire day and not getting better. The symptoms of this are- Food and drink are only mildly hard to get down. The real difficulty is the swallowing when not eating/drinking. I guess it's a reflex? Something I don't really notice usually, like blinking.

Now last night was fine, but I sat down for dinner, and could hardly swallow my food. The pain kept me up most of the night. Now pain is getting severe with the ear pain and swallowing.

He seems to think nothing really but he can't treat me as a patient.

I see that "difficulty swallowing" could be a symptom of this. I would like to know what exactly this feels like? Is it like a sore throat? I wonder because I get these feelings in my throat like someone is strangling me. It's not painful, just feels tight. And swallowing always felt weird. I wouldn't call it "difficult," just weird. Anyone who has this symptom, can you describe what it feels like?

It could most probably be tonsillitis and a throat infection. Throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, scratchiness in the throat, post nasal drip, malaise and loss of appetite are symptoms of tonsillitis. It can be caused by bacteria like streptococcus or it could be a viral infection. Bacterial infections need antibiotics. Consult your primary care physician who will do blood tests and take a throat swab to determine the cause and prescribe appropriate medications.

Once I swallow, I'm fine it's just that it takes a lot of effort to swallow.

I am having throat pain and ear pain at regular intervals. I have no difficulty in swallowing or breathing. If I talk for long time it gives me pain in the throat. I took AZITHRAL 250 for throat pain and CEFTAS CV 500 for ear pain. At times I am having pain in collarbone. I brush my teeth at least four times a day and exert too much for getting the flum out of the throat. Will it be the reason for such pains.
