Swallowing Problems

Swallowing problems, also known as dysphagia, can affect people of all ages and may range from mild discomfort to serious difficulties with food or drinks. Dysphagia symptoms and difficulty swallowing can result from a range of causes, including acid reflux, throat infections, neurological conditions, structural abnormalities in the throat or oesophagus or, less commonly, tumours. Common symptoms include pain when swallowing, choking, food coming back up or a sensation that food is stuck in the throat. Without appropriate assessment, swallowing problems can lead to poor nutrition, 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.
