KST A to Z
Baby - gagging while eating

About three weeks ago, I had an 18-year-old male who couldn't eat without having a gag reflex.
I adjusted the priorities, including his larynx. It resolved in one visit.
This Thursday morning, I had a mom bring her 6½ month-old-baby that has been breastfed but hasn't been able to swallow any solid food. Her mom said she could fill her mouth with food - no gagging, but the food would just run out her mouth.
I adjusted priorities and hyoid lateral and A-P. Her mom called back 5 hours later and said it "worked wonderfully".
