Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The difficulty in swallowing can be because of the space infection secondary to tooth infection or it can be secondary to plummer vinson syndrome secondary to iron deficiency anemia. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly. You have to get a radiograph done to rule out tooth infection. You need to get complete hemogram done to rule out anemia.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
