The feeling of choking when swallowing something may be related to diseases such as epiglottis cyst, chronic tonsillitis and esophageal cancer.
1. Epiglottis cyst: the mucous gland ducts under the mucosa of epiglottis valley and epiglottis tongue surface are blocked due to various reasons, and mucous retention cyst occurs due to blockage of the gland lumen, which may cause choking sensation when swallowing things.
2. Chronic tonsillitis: the recurrence of acute tonsillitis triggers tonsil hyperplasia and hypertrophy, which may cause the feeling of choking when swallowing.
3. Esophageal cancer: malignant tumor of esophagus narrows the lumen of esophagus, and when swallowing, the food will not go down smoothly, which will lead to choking feeling.
The choking feeling may be caused by benign or malignant swelling in the pharynx, which can be diagnosed by systematic examination.
