How to Treat Dysphagia?

Medical Treatment:
  • Depends on where it is. Whether in the mouth/throat or oesophagus
  • Swallowing therapy by a speech and language therapist
  • Dietary changes from Dietitian for thickened fluids and softer foods
  • Feeding tubes to provide nutrition
  • If swallowing difficulties from acid reflux, then Omeprazole can help
  • Botox injection for a condition like Achalasia
  • Surgery may be needed in specific cases. Endoscopic dilatation for any strictures, removable or permanent stent is also used as required
