Advice for prevention of aspiration pneumonia

Hi. Can anyone help woth advice for preventing aspiration pneumonia? Position ing in bed, etc?

Hello @Talia.talia
Welcome. I unfortunately suffered from aspiration pneumonia due to my dysphagia, twice already this year, you do slowly recover and the lung mucus lessens bit by bit over time.

Other than doing daily physiotherapy breathing exercises and adding thickener to all my fluids, I’ve also now returned to choir singing with the hope it will help rehabilitate my lung capacity, I think it has helped a bit. :musical_score:
Regards,
JP
