3. **Esophageal Ulcer (Food Pipe Trouble)** :

you know how we swallow food and it goes down to our tummy? Well, the tube that food goes through is called the esophagus. Sometimes, sores can grow in this tube, and that's called an esophageal ulcer.

Imagine having a in your throat! It can hurt when you swallow food, and you might feel a burning feeling in your chest. It's like having a volcano in your chest that erupts with yucky acid!

This happens because sometimes, the acid in our tummy can come back up into the esophagus, and that's called acid reflux. It's like when you eat something and then lie down right away, the food and acid can flow back up into the esophagus and make it hurt. Some foods can also make it worse, like spicy or citrus foods.

Some things that can cause these sores are:

1. Too much acid in the tummy that comes up into the esophagus (acid reflux)
2. Germs that make us sick
3. Some medicines

When you have an esophageal ulcer, you might feel like you don't want to eat, or it hurts when you swallow.

Majority of us here still experience this !
