Hi cait
i am a speech-language pathologist and specialize in swallowing disorders

ask for a swallow study (modified barium swallow) and a referral to a speech-language pathologist...based on the results of the swallow study a treatment plan can be developed and things can be done to help or strategies put in place to improve swallow function...
and maybe waiting until September isn't a good idea as aspiration of food can lead to pneumonia...feel free to reach out if you have questions...
it can be miserable having those kinds of problems when you're eating....
