Swallowing problems, known as dysphagia, can significantly impact a person’s ability to eat normally, leading to emotional distress. Speech pathologists specialize in treating swallowing issues and aim to restore normal eating as quickly as possible, whether in children or adults.

In Children:
If your child shows any of these signs during eating or drinking, they may benefit from swallowing therapy:

• Refusal to eat or drink
• Choking or coughing while eating
• Vomiting during meals
• Taking excessively long to finish meals
• Food or liquid coming out through the nose
• Previous cleft lip and palate repair
• Dependency on feeding tubes
• Oral or pharyngeal trauma
• Head and neck cancer
• Persistent coughing while swallowing

In Adults:
Swallowing therapy may be necessary for adults in various situations, including:

• Post-surgical rehabilitation after head and neck cancer surgery
• Swallowing difficulties after a stroke
• Coughing with liquids like water or hot beverages
• Dependency on feeding tubes
• Painful swallowing
• The sensation of food stuck in the throat
• Food regurgitation through the nose
• After chemotherapy or radiation for head and neck cancer
• Swallowing issues associated with aging
