Silent aspiration occurs when food or liquid enters the airway or lungs without triggering a cough reflex. This can be caused by conditions that affect swallowing coordination, such as stroke, neurological disorders, or weakened throat muscles. It can lead to lung infections and other respiratory issues if not detected and managed promptly.
