We had a visit from SALT yesterday. My dad has been coughing alot, sometimes after food and drink, but it builds up during the day and night time he will cough a lot.
SALT came and watched him eat and drink lunch. They said there wasnt any problems so carry on following the current food and drink plan.... dad was on his best behaviour, hes never his normal self around medical staff.
I explained my worries, and they just seemed to shrug it off. He is currently up in his bed coughing up phlem and has been having odd wheezing from time to time. Also, saliva build up and not swallowing it.... dropped a whole load over my head while i was washing him earlier!!! He is kept hydrated (with thickener!) throughout the day.
Obviously i want to keep him away from hospitals at the current time, but if it gets worse.... :/
