My mother (56 years old) has odynophagia and sometimes dysphagia for over 2 years now. We already consulted an internist, a gastroenterologist and an otorhinolaryngologist, she was submitted to barium enema, ct scan and ultrasound. But the tests came all normal. We are still wondering which diagnosis might be, because she still has the symptoms.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Due to natural aging and normal wear and tear on the esophagus and a greater risk of certain conditions, such as stroke or parkinson's disease, older adults are at higher risk of swallowing difficulties. But, dysphagia isn't considered a normal sign of aging. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
