Difficulty in Swallowing Saliva

2020-03-24 19:07:28
Hi Doctors, I am feeling a bit of difficulty in Swallowing the Saliva for past few days but it is fine when i eat or drink and face no difficulty. I do not have cough cold or fever or any other health condition. I have been very anxious and worried since this Covid-19 can that be a cause?

Most probably you are facing this issue because of acid reflux, and your anxiety is worsening it. Start taking food at proper times, and avoid oily and spicy food.
Next Steps
If lifestyle changes are not helping alone, you may need to consult and start treatment. Also consider meeting an ENT after the lockdown for a thorough assessment.
