Dysphagia Management and Care that Improves Life
Dysphagia refers to the inability of swallowing food, liquids, or medication. It can lead to discomfort while having food and even choking, aspiration pneumonia, dehydration, and malnutrition. It’s commonly observed in individuals with stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, etc. So, the condition needs to be managed with care.
