How to get rid of chest pain when swallowing?

I agree that this could be severe acid reflux. Trying a mild antacid helps, but getting it diagnosed by a doctor is highly recommended.

Warm water or a spoonful of honey can sometimes soothe a scratched food pipe if you swallowed something hard. But please see a doctor if the pain is very sharp or doesn't go away soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I went to a major gastroenterology hospital when I had pain swallowing, and they did an endoscopy to find the exact issue. It is best to ask your doctor clearly rather than guessing at home. Go get a proper clinical checkup.

With my diabetes, any persistent pain can indicate a fungal infection in the food pipe, which needs specific medical treatment. Please do not try home remedies or sugary syrups to soothe it. Visit a doctor to get a safe and proper diagnosis.

Avoid spicy, oily, and hot vegetarian dishes for a few days as they can irritate the food pipe further. Drink warm water and eat soft foods like khichdi. If the pain when swallowing persists, please consult a medical professional.

I ignored severe pain while swallowing, thinking it was just a throat infection, and it turned out to be a deep esophageal ulcer that took months to heal. Please do not delay. See a doctor immediately before it becomes complicated.
