Food getting stuck on epiglottis while swallowing with difficulty. what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pharyngeal dysphagia: Swallowing is complicated with coordination of multiple muscles. Any one of these can cause problems. This needs to be evaluated by a doc (gi or ent) or you need a swallowing study.
