Swallowing disorders, also known as dysphagia, refer to difficulties in the process of swallowing food or liquids. This condition can affect people of all ages but is more common in the elderly and those with certain medical conditions, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, or multiple sclerosis. Symptoms may include coughing while eating, a sensation of food getting stuck in the throat, or pain during swallowing. Treatment for swallowing disorders often involves a team of healthcare professionals, including speech-language pathologists and dietitians. They may recommend specific exercises, dietary modifications, or swallowing techniques to improve safety and efficiency during meals. In some cases, medical interventions or therapies may be necessary to address the underlying causes of the disorder.
