Thickened Liquids Improve Infant Swallow Function as Measured by Penetration‐Aspiration Scale Score on Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study
Thickened liquids have a viscosity-dependent therapeutic effect in the treatment of infants with oropharyngeal dysphagia. Our results suggest it may be possible to facilitate safe swallowing in the majority of infants by using liquids at mildly thick consistency.
