If dysphagia is not properly managed you may have a number of problems. In particular there is a risk of drinks or food “going down the wrong way” into your lungs. It is important to keep your teeth and mouth clean as swallowing saliva with bacteria can lead to chest infections. Aim to brush your teeth, tongue an gums at least twice a day with a low foaming toothpaste. As you get older, the swallowing muscles in the mouth and throat often become weaker, slower or less efficient. This can be made worse when you’re ill. Certain medical conditions can also affect your swallowing. These changes might make swallowing drinks more difficult so that there is a risk the drink could go down the wrong way. If it gets into the windpipe and even the lungs it can cause you to cough or choke when drinking. This is called aspiration. Sometimes a person might not cough or choke when they have aspirated. This is called ‘silent aspiration’. Aspiration can cause serious chest infections, or even pneumonia.
