Are there ways to help me swallow better?

I have the same problem. I’ve been having difficulty swallowing any food. No saliva is a bitch. I’m looking for answers myself. Mayo gave me way too many radiation treatments.

I had chemo radiation for left tonsil cancer back in 2008 and to help with the dry mouth tried electrical stimulation acupuncture in 2015 where I was tested to get a baseline and retested after 8-10 appts. and had great results. Never needed to go back.

In addition, I also slept with a bottle of water next to me and got a Humidifier on my end table to make sure there was the most moisture possible in my bedroom to help get some sleep.

Hope this helps.
