Esophageal abrasion with ear pain

Hi wondering if there is an update? I am in a similar situation - 3 days ago I think I may have swallowed a small sharp piece of a mussel shell. The right side of my throat and right ear hurt when I swallow/eat, but it doesn’t otherwise hurt.

Sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately, I am still dealing with this nearly 3 months later. I have yet to have a clear cause despite seeing two ENTs. It’s possible it’s related to swallowing the hard food since the timing of this was immediately after. However, it could be due to LPR and my swallowing the hard food simply triggered this cycle I’m in since the area inflamed is a common symptom of LPR.

I’m planning to get another scope and treatment plan in place because I don’t want to mess with steroids given my medical history and the horrible side effects I keep reading about. The last thing I want to do is cause more problems while trying to solve another.

Hope you get relief soon.
