Dear lybrate-user, please do not self medicate. You have not given a proper history like was the difficulty in swallowing associated with other complaints like pain or neck swelling. Please undergo a proper dysphagia assessment by a competent authority, like a ent specialist or a gastroenterologist or by both. Regards.dr. Vilas.

Plz go to an ent specialist for a check up if you don't have any history of fever, cough and cold or any covid symptoms.
