Dysphagia is a condition where a person has difficulty swallowing food or liquids safely. Neurological dysphagia occurs when the nerves and muscles responsible for swallowing in the mouth and throat do not function properly, often due to conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological disorders. This can lead to coughing, choking, or aspiration, where food or liquid enters the airway instead of the esophagus.
In children, swallowing difficulties may affect their oral feeding skills, nutrition, and overall growth, while adults may struggle with daily eating and risk complications such as malnutrition or respiratory infections.
Early intervention and specialized therapy can make a significant difference. At Breeze, Manikonda, Hyderabad, our trained speech-language pathologists and therapists focus on:

Strengthening oral and throat muscles to enhance control during eating and drinking
Developing safe feeding strategies tailored to individual needs
