Difficulty swallowing liquids
Difficulty swallowing liquids often points to a neurological or muscular problem affecting the swallowing reflex. Liquids may go into the airway, causing coughing or choking. Common causes include stroke or brain injury, parkinson's disease and motor neurone disease. At AVN Arogya, our physicians assess it as part of care for Stroke (Paralysis) and Tonsillitis & Adenoiditis.
