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
