Hi, Craig woke up this morning with an extremely sore throat which seems to be so swollen he can't swallow water (it just come right back out).
Cancer agency is closed for weekend. What should I do? Is there anything I can try to get the swelling to go down or get some liquids into him?
At what point do I take him to ER? He has no feeding tube.
