At your age, I am not worried about cancer but other causes of dysphagia (trouble with swallowing) should be ruled out. If symptom persists or getting worse regarding frequency or severity then you should be evaluated by a gastroenterologist. In the mean time, just eat slowly and chew well and observe the symptom, making a diary (problem with liquid or solid, how often, etc) if needed. Good luck.
