Not able to eat solid food

2020-05-06 06:46:01
My grand dad is not able to eat solid food for like 2 months now, he is feeling it's getting stuck near in the throat. There no pain or anything like that. He is totally on liquid food for quite sometime. Some times Complan/Horlicks is getting stuck. Not able to visit nearby doctor as no one is available. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated on the problem.

The cause of food getting stuck has to be found out...for that he may u go for some radiological investigation ..endoscopic examination is ideally needed for diagnosis..which may be undertaken with strict protocol in view of covid 19
Next Steps
consult an ENT surgeon Continue pureed food may seek dieticians advise for the same
