Chewing/eating Problem
UpdatedMy grandson who is in 3rd grade now is having a peculiar problem, he takes much more time for eating, on observation, it is seen that he keeps the food stuff in the mouth more time, chewing it very slowly often taking water and for gulping/swallowing the same, he takes more time, as if he is having problem in the throat for sending the food inside. We took him recently to an ENT Specialist, after through examination, he stated that he does not have any problem in the throat, and that he may be having some other problem in swallowing, we are at loss to understand as how we must proceed further in the matter. Can any one suggest some way out / solution to this issue

We stay at Rutherford in New Jersey, My grandson who is in 3rd grade now is having a peculiar problem, he takes much more time for eating, on observation, it is seen that he keeps the food stuff in the mouth more time, chewing it very slowly often taking water and for gulping/swallowing the same, he takes more time, as if he is having problem in the throat for sending the food inside. We took him recently to an ENT Specialist, after through examination, he stated that he does not have any problem in the throat, and that he may be having some other problem in swallowing, we are at loss to understand as how we must proceed further in the matter. Can any one/any Doctor suggest some way out / solution to this issue.
In case any specific details are required, I shall be too glad to furnish the same
Have you asked him why he's doing it? He should be able to tell you if he has a sore throat or if it feels funny to swallow.
If the ENT didn't find a problem, then there most likely isn't one and it might just be the way he eats.
