Food and fluid residue coming out of the nose

Hello all,
Four months later, I was two years old when I had a total laryngectomy, and swallowing food during this period went through some fluctuating stages.
But these days I have noticed a new condition, which is that when I swallow food (soft food with liquids), I feel it rising into the nasal cavity. For example, yesterday I ate a biscuit with milk, so I swallowed a small bite, and seconds later I felt milk coming out of my left nostril, and when I rinse my nose Using the nasal lotion pump, mucus, food debris, and milk are removed.
This is something I've never had before,
Do I find people here who have suffered from this thing?

Yes, Ali, I do at times blow my nose and sometimes there is a food particle in there but not a lot. I am sure there are people on here that have this situation in varying degrees, hopefully, you will get some more people chiming in on it here.
Wishing You The Best
Take Care, God Bless

I dont have it but I was told by an oral surgeon, it is a possibility for me due to osteoradionecrosis. Basically, due to bone lost a hole between mouth and maxillary sinus might be formed. I was also told that if it happes, there is a surgical treatment.
You may want to see an oral surgeon.
