Doctor can examine: New swallowing symptoms may be from a throat infection (antibiotics are needed if caused by strep bacteria) or some other cause such as stomach acid reflux, a little object stuck in the throat, a hyperactive gag reflex, a lack of saliva, a throat muscle coordination problem, etc... Usually, a person sees her pediatrician or family doctor for an evaluation, and a referral to specialists if needed.
