Odynophagia
This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Odynophagia".
Odynophagia is painful swallowing, in the mouth (oropharynx) or esophagus. It can occur with or without dysphagia, or difficult swallowing.[1]
Odynophagia often results in weight loss. It can be caused by many conditions, including very hot or cold food or drink, drugs, ulcers and mucosal destruction, upper respiratory tract infections, immune disorders, cancers, and motor disorders. [2]
