Hi,
Based on the description of your symptoms, it is advisable to consult ENT specialist to know what could be the cause for dysphagia.
She would require clinical evaluation by getting laryngoscopy done. Based on the findings on clinical examination, appropriate treatment can be considered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
