dysphagia management

Dysphagia management involves strategies to help individuals who have difficulty swallowing. This can include modifying the texture of food and liquids to make them easier to swallow, such as pureeing or thickening them. Patients may also practice swallowing techniques or exercises. In some cases, professionals might suggest positioning strategies during meals to reduce choking risk. It’s essential to work with healthcare providers, like speech therapists or dietitians, to ensure safe eating and maintain proper nutrition while addressing individual needs effectively.
