The first goal of a : an evaluation is to look for a structural or functional problem in any organ related to swallowing & digestion. Your son's doctor & dentist need a detailed history of his health, growth & development prior to & since symptom onset. It's also possible for food refusal & gagging 1st caused by an acute minor illness to persist because of negative or positive parental attention to it during meals.
