A member asked:
What does it mean if i'm having difficulty swallowing own saliva?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Esophageal Stricture: You may have a narrowing of your esophagus if you are having trouble swallowing anything. If it is limited to your saliva and not food and drink there should not be a problem with the fluid your glands make to keep your mouth moist and aid in digestion of food.
