What Is The Treatment For Dysphagia?
Hi, For several months now I have been getting all manner of food caught in the pocket below my tongue and epiglottis. I have not changed any of my swallowing habits and I am very healthy, but this is scary and extremely uncomfortable. I ve had 3 ER visits to dislodge food caught there when it won t pass on its own, which is usually after hours. Any suggestions for treatment or what might be causing my sudden swallowing problems?
