Pain While Swallowing
If it hurts to swallow, this should be an immediate red flag. Pain while swallowing is a symptom not only of dysphagia but also that there may be something more serious going on. In this situation, it's important to identify the type of pain and where it's located in the throat.
Patients experiencing pain while swallowing should see a doctor. There are many potential causes, some are mild like a sore throat and some are more serious, and only a physician can diagnose them correctly.
