Time gap between two endoscopy

Rakesh21

My grandmother(F-78) was having difficulties in swallowing. It happened only after she took a small amount of acidic liquid by mistake. An endoscopy shown that there is an obstruct at 27 Cm in esophagus. CT Scan confirmed that there is an obstruct in esophagus.
Now Dr want to go for second endoscopy. Dr want to clear the blockage in Esophagus.

My concern is that is it safe to go for second endoscopy so quickly. After 4 days of the first endoscopy.

I'm sure the dr knows what he is doing...I would think that it is safe...I'm sure the dr is more concerned about the blockage in her esophagus, but if you feel strongly about the time span, then maybe you should be asking him about it so that he can comfort with his reasoning.
