How Can Throat Irritation Be Treated While Suffering From Cancer?
Hello, My mother has been given 3 months to live...Her cancer has spread from her lungs to her Lymph Nodes to her liver. My question is: Her throat is irritated and she is losing her voice, we need to crush up her pain medication because she cant swallow them. What can we do to help her throat?
The supportive ailments for the throat issue are:
@ Ryle's tube feeding.
@ Gargles with salted lukewarm water.
@ Check for upper GI scopy and esophagus status in form of any underlying erosion or so forth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
