Dysphagia treatment in Monterrey

Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing food, liquids, or even saliva, and it can feel as if food gets stuck or has trouble going down the throat or chest.

Possible causes: These range from problems in the muscles and nerves that coordinate swallowing to disorders of the esophagus, so its origin is varied.

Signs worth watching for:

• Frequent choking or coughing when eating
• Pain when swallowing or a feeling of obstruction
• Unintentional weight loss

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist, the otolaryngologist, and the neurologist take part depending on the suspected cause. If swallowing becomes a routine effort, it is worthwhile for a professional to investigate the underlying reason.
