I can tell my mother has a swallowing problem. Her food does not go down and she tries to swallow and gets upset because it is so hard for her. A lot of the baby food comes out. That is why she is on a feeding tube now. She had some what the doctor called mini strokes before she fell and broke her hip. Strokes can cause this.
I have a suction machine that I use when she has any choking.
Some of the symptoms of a swallowing problem:
Food comes out of mouth.
Hurts when they swallow.
Maybe they try and swallow more than once to get it down.
Tears in eyes when eating.
Hard to swallow pills.
Cough when drinking water.
These are just some of the symptoms watch your love one closely for symptoms.
John 4:14 "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
Later,
Rebecca
