Before giving pills to someone who has difficulty swallowing, give a teaspoon of applesauce to “lube the tube.” Afterwards, give the pill with cold water. Then follow with another teaspoon of apple sauce. This works for Dad, he is 92 years of age and does have difficulty swallowing.
This method is a combination of advice from a 30year veteran nurse and a highly experienced Speech/ Language Pathologist, both well versed in swallowing difficulties of the elderly.
im afraid there is nothing
Any treatment for a 64 yr. old with Retinopathy of prematurity? Blind in one eye and very little sight in other eye. Lots of lesions blocking pupil. Also have had cataract surgery.
