Dysphagia in Dubai
Dysphagia in Dubai refers to difficulty in swallowing, which may occur due to neurological conditions, structural abnormalities, or age-related decline. It can affect both children and adults and often leads to nutritional problems, choking, and reduced quality of life.
⚠️ Symptoms of Dysphagia
Common signs include:
-
Coughing or choking while eating or drinking
-
Feeling of food stuck in the throat
-
Drooling or excessive saliva
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Frequent chest infections (aspiration pneumonia)
If you notice these symptoms in yourself or your child, it’s essential to seek professional evaluation.
Causes of Dysphagia
Dysphagia may be caused by:
-
Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
-
Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
-
Head and neck cancer or surgery
-
Congenital disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy, cleft palate)
-
Developmental delay in children
At our clinic in Dubai, we identify the root cause and create an individualized therapy plan.
