Almost choked but now have a lump in my throat

I scratched my esophagus when I choked five days ago on a sandwich. When to the emergency room and two days later  gastroenterologist. The Gastro. gave me Nexium. The ER doctor gave me sulfate. The Gastroenterologist said it could take a weak to heal and be uncomfortable or even painful. He said I could feel tightens, pulling, discomfort especially when breathing and eating.  From the reading I have been doing, rest is best. IF I am still in a lot of pain in a week I am to call him for another appointment. I suggest you go to either a GP or a gastroenterologist. A doctor can give you medicines or send you for tests if they think something is going on that is more than a scratch on our esophagus.   First two were better than the last three. As the scratch in my esophagus heals. IT is uncomfortable I feel pulling and some pain. Some heat in the area too.. Eating is difficult and I have been treating myself to ice cream shakes and pudding as those go down easier. Also tuna and chicken salad eaten slowly.  Elevate the head when possible, don't have coffee, chocolate or smoke.  Hope you feel better soon.
