In the last few weeks, my 9 year old son has begun to find swallowing certain foods difficult. He has always had a brilliant appetite and would eat almost anything but now he is over-chewing certain foods (meat, apples - particularly the skin) and picking bits of it out of his mouth. But he'll happily eat sweets/biscuits when allowed? Also in the last few months he's developed a bit of an obsession over his peanut allergy and also in the last month to 6 weeks, he seems to have developed a tic (face stretching/grimacing).
I am going to ring the gp on Tuesday but I'm fully prepared to be told it's a phase. But does anyone have any advice or reassurance they can give me as I'm becoming more and more worried about it all.
