Swallowing Problems

Swallowing problems, also known as dysphagia, can affect people of all ages and may range from mild discomfort to serious difficulties in consuming food or drinks. These issues can result from a variety of causes, including conditions such as acid reflux, throat infections, neurological disorders, structural abnormalities in the throat or oesophagus, or even tumours. Common symptoms include difficulty or pain while swallowing, choking, regurgitation of food, or a sensation of food being stuck in the throat. Left untreated, swallowing problems can lead to nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, or respiratory complications.

Our throat specialists at The ENT Consultancy diagnose and treat swallowing problems. We utilise advanced diagnostic tools such as barium swallow tests, endoscopy, or imaging scans to identify the underlying cause. Treatments are tailored to each patient and may include medications to address inflammation or reflux, swallowing therapy, dietary modifications, or minimally invasive procedures to resolve structural issues.
