Considerations
Swallowing is a complex act that involves the mouth, throat area, and esophagus (the tube that transports food to the stomach).
Problems at any point, from the mouth to the esophagus, can result in burning or intense pain with swallowing.
This may be accompanied by chest pain, the feeling that food is stuck in the throat, or heaviness or pressure in the neck or upper chest
