Highly unlikely to neoplastic. Keep your appointment and have it looked at.

ENT is the wrong option if you have dysphagia/odynophagia. You need to see a gastroenterologist and have endoscopy.

If you are coughing and short of breath when you eat or drink, you need a swallow study - that's speech pathology eval

Possible. Or maybe people with the same diagnosis experience different symptoms.

not important, but EE = erosive esophagitis, EoE = eosinophilic esophagitis

Good to know. EoE is what I have.

That’s why you’re probably going to now get a barium upper GO study and/or EGD

Had an inconclusive EGD last time (no obvious issues).

Probably bad internet advice.. once daily is fine.

You may need an EGD. Find a GI doc.
