What should I do if I'm facing issues during mealtimes despite following my ST’s recommendations?

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
If you're experiencing difficulties: - Try feeding slower or using a smaller spoon - Prepare food that is softer and in smaller pieces - Avoid mixed consistencies (foods with both liquid and solid components) You should seek an earlier appointment with your Speech Therapist (call 6321 4377) if you notice: - Worsening of swallowing difficulties - Increased coughing or choking during meals - Development of fever with yellow/greenish phlegm - General lethargy and feeling unwell
