Thanks a lot for your advice. I will ask my ENT to prescribe another swallow test. I was warned to have G-tube installed soon after my treatment, it was almost 15 years ago, then the swallowing got better so I did not do that. In 2014 I was warned again after a swallowing test showed some silent aspiration, then I gradually stop eating solid food, just drink Fibersource, Isosource or Boost by mouth during the day and have noodles for dinner. Now, no matter how I adjust the consistency of the liquid and the way I drink them, it will cause coughing. Recently, the reluctance to eat (drink) has made me lost 20+ pounds, so I think it is time for G-tube.
