Angel, if you keep having swallowing problems for much longer I think you should ask your ENT for a swallowing test called a "Modified Barium Swallow". This allows a speech pathologist (that is the person who has expertise on swallowing) to see what is happening to food and liquid as it goes down. Then they can help give you exercises and other tricks to help you get back on track with your swallowing.

Hope you have a good July 4th too!
