It is ok to drink water in between meals as small sips to help with swallowing
But it is better to avoid drinking plenty of water close to meals as it may dilute digestive enzymes
Next Steps
have a small sip of water before eating to help with swallowing

if u are unable to swallow food without drinking water, then we will have to rule out causes of dry mouth
but if this is just a mild issue, then there is nothing to worry
