Swallowing Problems
Let Spokane Valley ENT help you with chronic swallowing problems.
Chronic difficulties in swallowing, a condition known as dysphagia, is often a sign of a problem with your throat or esophagus that could be caused by a number of disorders, including gastroesophageal (GERD) reflux, esophagitis, diverticula, tumors or many other conditions.
