Dysphagia Treatment (Swallowing Disorder)

Understanding Dysphagia
Dysphagia refers to difficulty in swallowing, a condition that can significantly impact an individual's ability to eat and drink. This disorder can arise from various underlying causes, including neurological conditions, structural abnormalities, or aging. At SMART Hearing & Child Development Center (SHCDC) in Madinaguda, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dysphagia to enhance the quality of life for our patients and ensure safe, effective swallowing.

- Difficulty swallowing solid foods or liquids
- A sensation of food being stuck in the throat or chest
- Pain while swallowing (odynophagia)
- Coughing or choking during meals

- Changes in voice quality (e.g., hoarseness)
