Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can be a symptom of a variety of medical problems. Nervous system and brain diseases, muscular abnormalities, and physical blockages in the neck are examples of these ailments. Treatment for swallowing problems varies depending on the reason, but might include antibiotics, dietary adjustments, and, in some cases, surgery. Dysphagia, which can impact the oral and/or pharyngeal phases of swallowing, is common in stroke survivors. While attempting to swallow saliva, beverages, or food, the patient may cough or choke. A speech-language pathologist frequently evaluates a patient's swallowing capacity to detect the risk of aspiration (food or liquid entering the lungs), which can lead to a lung infection or pneumonia.
