If a patient has pain even with soft diet, what may be the next practical modification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Give smoother pureed or semi-liquid diet
Persistent pain despite a soft diet suggests that the patient may need a smoother texture requiring still less chewing and oral manipulation. A pureed or semi-liquid option may be considered after assessing the cause of pain, swallowing ability and nutritional needs. The change should be supervised rather than made solely on preference.
