Hard to swollow food feel sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You likely are sick: While that is not much information, you are probably getting sick. Many respiratory illnesses have early problems with sore throat and swallowing. You did not mention pain though. A more serious cause of not being able to swallow can be an allergic reaction to something such as medication or food. If it worsens or you have swelling of your face or neck or trouble breathing be seen right away.
