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

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

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

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).

You may need an EGD. Find a GI doc.
