Medical Therapy overview

The treatment of odynophagia depends on it's etiology.

Medical Therapy of common causes of odynophagia:

Following are few common conditions of odynophagia. These conditions are managed accordingly:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Upper respiratory tract infections:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis:

Lower esophageal spasms
Myasthenia gravis, Polymyositis, Scelroderma:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease:
  • Promotility agents, weight loss
  • Avoidance of offending food
  • Elevation of the head of the bed
Tumors of esophagus, lung or oral cavity:
Foreign body:
  • Surgical removal
  • Propelling agents (barium swallow as coin in children )
  • NSAIDS
