PALS cannot drink liquids that are too thin and ensure (plus) is somehow too thick and bothers him.
He drinks mostly liquids (and occasionally eats some cheese) but yesterday he wanted to try sole (fish). First bite was ok - 2nd bite was very difficult. He coughed and tried to get it out again for at least 30 min. There was some very thick mucus at times. I don't think his cough is very effective.
Tonight we had a milder version of it with smooth soup.
He is also very sensitive to the littlest pieces in liquids...
I am not completely sure what's going on and am wondering if there is anything I can do / get to provide some comfort? He does not want a feeding tube.
