What is Dysphagia?
Dysphagia refers to difficulty in swallowing. This typically occurs when it takes more time to move food or liquid from the mouth down to the stomach.
Sometimes, swallowing can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include large bites of food, inadequate chewing, dry mouth, pills or food that's too hot. Swallowing is also difficult when talking, laughing or lying down.
