Hello all. Re secretions.I am the care giver for my Mom . On arrival she was choking due to secretions and a suction machine was in use.She was being treated for thrush) full blown white tongue and roof of mouth)
A swab was taken.. not thrush.(She had used 3 bottles of nystatin)medication discontinued.
I used toothettes ,( mom able to use)
In the morning, after each liquified meal or whenever) a toothette ( dampened and squeezed of water) was rolled in every corner and roof of her mouth, huge 6 inch ‘strings) of congealed saliva mixed with?) came out.
In 6 weeks suction was not necessary) ( atropine is in use as needed. .
Regards
