[Dysphagia] Practice approaches
Irene,
I'm relieved to be able to return my patients to water. They are as
well.
Not having read the study directly, perhaps you can fill me - us - in
on whether it's suggested that a squeeze of lemon, lime or perhaps
juice for flavoring may be used? Some patients really dislike plain
water.
