Hello doctor! From time to time I feel like undigested food is stuck in the esophagus. Because I'm in the epidemic season, I just go to the store to buy medicine and it helps, but when I eat food, it is still difficult to digest (jackfruit and fried foods). So the doctor asked me to feel like food is not digested, is it dangerous to get stuck in the esophagus? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank you.

Hello.
Swallowing, swallowing problems are all signs of problems with the esophagus. It can be simply gastroesophageal reflux disease, but it can also be a symptom of serious diseases such as tumor, or cancer..
You should go to a doctor and do a gastrointestinal endoscopy at a medical facility. A reputable doctor or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide for the doctor to confirm the diagnosis of feeling like undigested food, stuck in the esophagus is dangerous. Depending on your condition, as well as the results of the examination, the doctor will diagnose and offer the appropriate treatment.
