With me there was a laundry list of causes, swelling, mucus drying to cement and at one point I discovered that I had been gaging on a hair that was wrapped around the BOT and dangling down from there (I would love to meet the blonde nurse!).
Drs put me on a nice antacid and I used little bottles of baking soda solution to get rid of the acid. RINSE RINSE RINSE. The irritation from the stomach acid can't be good for healing or your esophagus.
As always, check with your doctors
Good luck!
