God bless you! Just a thought, ok? Have you been treated for dry mouth? A lot of medication can cause this. Also, have you seen a gastroenterologist to see if your esophagus needs dilaton? It's a simple procedure and it helps tremendously if food will not go down. I had it done and it did wonders for me. If I'm off base with your problem, I apologize.

My Uncle Greg has been battling throat cancer for 8 yrs. He has recently been in the hospital he couldn't swallow, so sore all the way from left side of throat, ear. He is currently in the hospital. They found out he has a ulcer in his throat, causing all the pain and not being able to swallow. They started oxygen chamber treatments, he started having a hard time breathing. So he has opted out of the oxygen treatment. They ended up having to do a tracheatomy to help him be able to breath. Any suggestions on what could help him would be greatly appreciated 🙏 Thankyou all so much.
