The "effortful swallow" is commonly used to improve swallow safety. If you combine it with an intentional process for eating, it can minimize swallowing challenges like coughing and choking.

Thank you so much, I recently developed this after struggling with non allergic rhinitis for over a year. I was so shocked to find this channel and content on this.
could allergic rhinitis cause difficulty in swallowing as well ? i have allergic rhinitis and having difficulty in swallowing i feel like the food just sits there in the middle and i cant get it down :(
Same I choked when I drinking a water last month and after that I'm scared of swallowing foods or drinking liquids. It feels like I'm gonna Choked again it's too difficult to handle 😭
Hello. Can you make a video giving advice for parents with babies or children who keep gagging or just won't eat soft/solid food that are served to them? It's very scary to look at them struggling even if gagging is normal. Is there any way to help them practice to lessen the gagging?
Hello Noura, I rarely see children for swallowing problems, I focus mainly on adults, so I can't speak to behavioral feeding disorders. But, also, it depends on the behavior.
