I had similar "spillover" problems diagnosed by the Speech/Swallowing therapist. She walked me through a series of swallowing exercizes which I practiced for several weeks. I saw improvement almost immediately, and now, 8 months out, I have minimal swallowing problems. Crumbly meat tends to stick in my throat.
It was a matter of exercizing the tongue and throat muscles, and I can only imagine how bizarre I must have looked doing the exercizes.
Now that you've identified the problem, I'm hoping you will have the same success in beating it.
Good Health
