drain.

its been a week and she's still so sore she has a hard time swallowing. is that normal to take so long? I mean she's living off soup and ensure, not even eating toast

Responses:

just the tube used for anesthetic alone can cause irritation that lasts for days; so add-in the naso-gastric one, and there's more. - b! Mar 13, 12:27 2
