Swallowing problems may be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease in which acid from the stomach moves up to the esophagus. A tumor or trauma to the throat or esophagus can present the symptom of choking on saliva. Excess saliva is also a symptom of some neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and muscular dystrophy, states Mayo Clinic. Stroke sufferers can also have dysphagia and may choke on either food, liquids or saliva.
Trouble swallowing may come from an obstruction in the throat such as trapped food, a swollen throat, or medical conditions that cause the esophagus to become inflamed. A swollen tongue or swelling in the esophagus can also cause difficulty in swallowing. The following can also cause trouble swallowing: 1  dry throat. 2  allergic reaction. 3  swollen tongue. 4  swollen tonsils. 5  esophageal reflux disease.
