Hello friend,
With the question "Choking when eating, is swollen lymph nodes in the neck a sign of gastroesophageal reflux?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux are: Ợ gas, belching. hot, can cough, sore throat, no lymph nodes. Swollen lymph nodes are divided into two types: benign and malignant lymph nodes. If your swollen lymph nodes in your neck are benign, they can be easily treated. However, if the lymph nodes are malignant, it is definitely a warning that your body is in danger because of the presence of a certain cancer. If you have swollen lymph nodes and symptoms of choking when eating, you need to see a doctor to rule out physical damage to the cervical esophagus or pharynx and determine the nature of the lymph nodes. From there, the doctor will determine the cause and have the most appropriate treatment for you.
If you still have questions about cervical lymphadenopathy, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
