Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is when moving food and liquids through the mouth and to the stomach can be painful and can make swallowing impossible. If you have a swallowing disorder, you may have difficulty or pain when swallowing whereas some people cannot swallow at all. Others may have trouble swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva, which can make it hard to eat. Often, it can be difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish your body.
