Abstract:
Functional dysphagia in children has historically been treated using a cognitive behavioral approach. The case of a 7-year-old boy treated using a successful multimodal approach, including behavioral, family, and play therapy with alprazolam augmentation, is reported. The patient showed minimal response to early interventions but rapidly improved with the prescription of alprazolam before meals.
