[|Human|] Hi, I have a friend 27 years, 5,6 feet tall who is suffering from pseudobulbar palsy, it has affected him alot that he has problem in eating or evn swallowing his saliva, his tongue cannot move and his right arm is very weak, the neurologist we went to prescribed riluzole(rilutek) drug which has not been of any help, please help what can we do since the doctors say that nothing can be done to help him, thank you
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Management of this pseudobulbar palsy is basically directed towards the underlying cause. If the person is having major progressive obstacle in swallowing and eating, Please visit an emergency or to the neurologist and get him admitted and reviewed under the surgeons eye. Continue with medication prescribed by the neurosurgeon and get him checked periodically. Postural changes can help with Chat Doctor. Get him checked up with a dietician to advice him food which will be easy for him to swallow. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
