Difficulty Swallowing
Difficulty swallowing, or dysphagia, involves trouble moving food or liquid from the mouth to the stomach. Causes include neurological disorders, throat or oesophageal conditions, and certain medications. Symptoms may include pain, a sensation of food being stuck, and frequent choking or coughing during eating. Proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
