Need to do FEES ( fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing). There might be neurological problem.she can get chest infection if not addressed. Go to hospital, ENT or head and neck dept where FEES is available,. Atleast vidrolaryngoscopy is needed. After this test only ,barium swallow or modified barium swallow is adviced. Take care
