Swallowing therapy
Coughing at meals? Swallowing therapy can come to you.
Jubilant's speech-language pathologists evaluate swallowing during real meals, in the place your loved one eats every day.
Signs worth a call
Coughing or throat clearing while eating or drinking, a wet or gurgly voice after meals, food sticking, meals taking much longer, avoiding certain foods, or unexplained weight loss.
What we do
- Watch and assess swallowing during a real meal
- Recommend safer food and drink textures and positions
- Teach exercises and strategies to the patient and caregivers
- Coordinate with the doctor if an instrumental swallow study is needed
Urgent note
If someone is choking or can't breathe, call 911.
