11 year old daughter. Complaining that she can not swallow food. Has had the issue before but seemed to go away. She keeps trying even items like ice cream, mac & cheese that she likes but says she can t swallow them. Tonight she is even scared to swallow her own saliva. Took her a couple years ago to doctor, etc. and they check her good and didn t seem to find anything. Now it flares up again but this time she is even scared to swallow liquids.
