I worry about swallowing food?

Recently, I have had a throat infection and also I had a panic attack about getting spaghetti stuck in my throat. I have now just about recovered from my throat infection. I find it mealtimes quite tedious now, as when I am about to swallow food I am scared that it is going to get stuck in my throat. When I chew food, it doesn't really form a 'ball' and I manage to swallow about half a bite. I am getting very tired of this, and I just want to be able to swallow foods normally. I have tried sitting in front of the tv and eating my meal which helps, but I am still very aware of swallowing and can't swallow if I don't think about it. Please help, I am only 14 years old and this is really getting me down. Any tips or techniques that I could try. Please don't post websites that involve paying money to try 'relaxation and anxiety' techniques.
