Stroke patients may experience Dysphagia due to brain injury affecting throat muscle control. These difficulties can limit food choices, but, based on the advice of doctors and speech therapists, we can enhance the taste of food through various ingredient combinations. For example, patients who can consume pureed foods might add milk to mashed potatoes or use nutritional milk to cook congee, making meals both delicious and beneficial.
Additionally, speech therapists address a wide range of issues beyond Dysphagia, including voice problems, communication barriers, pronunciation issues, and oral muscle problems. If you have any questions, it is advisable to consult with a doctor and speech therapist early for a clearer understanding.
