I have a new patient, Parkinson's Patient (17 years since Dx).  Recently hospitalized for weakness due to possible infection post teeth extractions and/or slight stroke (not officially diagnosed but shows some asymmetry to facial features).  Alert and oriented x3. Also says she cannot produce tears to cry, although her oral cavity was moist and so were her eyes. Says she has too much saliva and spits it out frequently into a Kleenex. Suggested she try to do more swallowing of her saliva to keep muscles in shape.

Mod to severe oral dysphagia (poor mastication, lateralization of tongue during bolus prep), tongue pumping, c/o food feeling like it gets stuck in her throat (possibly poor epiglottic inversion with food/pills sticking in vallaculae. Fair laryngeal excursion. Currently on soft solids and thin liquids by straw and taking nutritional drink 3x/day via straw. No change in vocal quality after swallows and no overt signs/symptoms of aspiration or silent aspiration.

Other than talking to her doctor about all the medications and side effects and obvious treatment for compensatory strategies for swallowing, any other ideas? thanks
