What can i do if my grandma chokes on everything is that bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dysphagia: Or difficulty swallowing is the cause of choking on certain food/ fluids. The risk is aspiration pneumonia. I would recommend an evaluation by a speech therapist for a swallow evaluation. They will try different foods and fluids consistencies and recommend a safe diet for your grandmother
