Suggest Remedies For Swallowing Difficulty In A Child
My 4 years old suddenly does not want to eat solids , he is scared to swallow . The last few days he had small chocking incidents but nothing major and he was eating well after those . But today he said he is afraid to swallow the food , because we talked that he needs to eat slowly and chew food well .He has been drinking only water and juice today . And he was an excellent eater , I can not recognize my son , I am so worried.i

it is most probably throad infection which give him pain while swallowing so you can give antibiotics like cefixim 100 mg b.d. if not resolved in 5 days, it can be a bigger problem like diverticula or stricture due to any cause for which u need to get a barium meal test asap
