Hello all,
After a year of diagnosed als and my mother seems to have a throat infection and is chocking at night especially when she goes to sleep. Doc said that her oxygen level is fine but she keeps geting that. My mother says she does not feel any mucus from the infection and the cough feels like it is comin from stomach fluid. As the local hospital is really bad they gave her some cortizone. Is this a symptome that she has to get a feeding tube or is it a problem of the lungs so that she needs oxygen. After coughing she gasps for air and im not sure that cortizone is the answer. Any advices on what to do while the chocking starts would be great. I tried giving her some cola and water so far.
