Answer #1

Since thickened drinks are normal drinks that have been made thick by adding thickener to make them thicker, they are generally recommended for patients who can are not able to swallow safely the normal fluids, because drinks slip and go into their lungs, making them cough, choke. It may lead to some of very serious risks such as an infection of the chest and aspiration pneumonia, (Zuckerman, 2020)
