Ms Rozina Psychologist · Answer

This is highly treatable. It can be treated through CBT and family support. Please book a counselling session with me if possible. Follow the following steps meanwhile.
1. Do an ENT check up to tell her that physically her throat is ok.
2. Tell her it's normal if she can't swallow the tablets. Many people can't do that and they do something alternate. She can also find alternate methods.
3. Start giving the food in steps. Start with fresh juices, shakes and broath
Gradually add soup, smoothies and then move towards soft juicy foods that are easy to swallow.
4. Ask her it's sunnah to take small bites, chew it well and don't talk while eating.
5. Tell her to take sips of cold drink or water with every bite.
Try to find out the stress trigger, don't allow her to get exhausted physically. Also remind her with Islamic point of view that our bodies are shaped by Allah and Allah's creation is flawless and perfect.
For further details please contact me for a counselling session.
May Allah bless her with good health.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Hina Aman · Answer

Counselling is not just helpful; it is the cornerstone of treatment for phagophobia. By targeting the underlying fear, breaking the avoidance cycle, and teaching practical coping skills, therapy empowers individuals to regain a normal, safe, and peaceful relationship with eating and swallowing. If you are struggling with this, seeking out a qualified therapist is the most important step you can take toward recovery.
