Has he not eaten by mouth by choice, pain or stricture?
1. If by choice he needs to start swallowing ASAP and gradually build up to some solid stuff.
2. If by pain, then that needs to be death with and then follow number 1. above.
3. If by stricture, then he needs to be seen by a competent doctor ASAP.
