2019-02-21 20:03:03
My grandfather age 85 is suffering from Interstitial lung disease from past 1.5 years But from last 1 week he is feeling some obstruction in food pipe only while eating and finds difficult to swallow(even liquid foods) so my question is that is it due to ILD  or due to some other reason Thanks
