Dysphegia(swallowing difficulty, stroke)

Question

Asked for Female, 85 Years

My father has been suffering from dysphagia(difficulty in swallowing both solid and liquid foods) since last 3 months. We tried different liqud foods but nothing is working. Now he could barely take Soji liquid about half a cup every 4 hours. He lost around 15 kgs in 2 months. Any high calorie food supplement is available which we can add to the Soji liquid so that it gives him energy & some weight. We want to avoid tube feeding
