Can not swallow anything
My mother 80 years is not able to swallow anything she has been on a liquid diet since 3 months but now she is not even able to take the liquids properly After swallowing anything cough/Belgum is coming out Their is no history of any illness
Need to do FEES ( fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing). There might be neurological problem.she can get chest infection if not addressed.
Go to hospital, ENT or head and neck dept where FEES is available,. Atleast vidrolaryngoscopy is needed.
After this test only ,barium swallow or modified barium swallow is adviced.
Take care
