A member asked:

I have a lot of thin saliva in my mouth and throat . why ?i have trouble swallowing

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysphagia types: "transfer dysphagia" is a problem moving food/saliva from your mouth to the top of the esophagus; "transit dysphagia" is a problem transiting the food down the esophagus. Motility studies (modified barium swallow with speech therapist; esophageal manometry) may be helpful in identifying the point of pathology, if present. Sometimes, just esophageal spasms can make swallowing feel problematic.
