What Causes Constant Choking Of Food?

I am a 12 year old girl and I always seem to choke on my food. I have choked on food since I was a baby, from meat to mustard. I don t choke every time I eat. I try to eat slowly and chew my food well, but that always seemed to fail. Is there such thing as a weak epiglottis, causing food to constantly slip down the windpipe?

HI
Well come to HCM
You are too young for any disease that may be related with this symptom, instead just eat slowly take a possible small bolus, at the most hyperacidity could be the reason and this can be best treated with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg with Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day and this is nothing to worry, take care.
