You likely are having issue with acid reflux, which is irritating your lower esophageal sphincter. When you swallow food, it is passing over the irritated area, leaving you with a sensation of something lodged until you sooth it with a sip of water.

Talk to your doctor. There are several medications that will reduce the acidity of your stomach, reducing the irritation.

I think the better question is why not just chew your food?

drink lots of water.it will help.
