If you have a swallowing problem, you may need to consult with an otolaryngologist (physician with special training in disorders of the ear, nose, and throat) or a speech-language pathologist trained in dysphagia. You may need to consult with a neurologist if a stroke or other neurologic disorder causes the swallowing problem. Other trained professionals who may provide treatment are occupational therapists and physical therapists.
