To Zahid, Re: Father's Stricture
Obviously so serious; you said he had the issue "since yesterday"....could you explain what caused it? That information would be very important before making suggestions. Was it allergic reaction and if so do you know from what; or is it an ongoing problem unresolved by the Doctors treating him?
And, is this actually effecting his ability to breathe?

There are times when surgery is the only answer. If your father has an Obstruction to his ability to breath, surgery is called for. This is NOT a time for playing around with some hoped for herbal cure. OscarReplied by Jan (London, Ontario) on 03/20/2014
I suffered the same thing for months. I found that eliminating all sugar helped immensely. Now, I am on a gluten free and low carb diet which also helps. I haven't had a dilatation since making these dietary changes. Good luck.
