A member asked:

So every time i eat i have trouble swallowing my food. like i have to drink one thing with every bite and even then some things will get like stuck in like my throat for a second and i would have to cough it out. whats wrong with me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
