Unable to swallow

DS is struggling over the last few days to swallow and keeps chocking on his food. He had Oesophagitis from GORD a few years back. I suspect it’s the same but in the wait for the GP is there anything we can do. Even water / fizzy drinks seem to be having a lot more difficulty this afternoon. It’s never been this bad if that’s what it is!!!

How old is he? It does sound like a GORD symptom. If he can't get water down then use 111 to get a quicker GP appointment.
