Jоhn, а 20 yeаr оld mаle, is admitted tо the hospital with a persistent cough and shortness of breath after being diagnosed with acute bronchitis a month ago. His family noticed he began coughing on solid food several days ago so he has been eating solid foods and soups. In the hospital, he was found to have atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure with significant edema/swelling in his extremities and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. During a clinical swallow evaluation, John continued to cough on solids textures but did not cough with liquids and purees. He was unable to pass the 3 oz water challenge using the Yale Swallow Protocol. Upon further assessment, no penetration or aspiration was noted with thin liquids and purees. However, John demonstrated mildly decreased pharyngeal constriction, decreased cricopharyngeal opening resulting in decreased flow of the bolus through to the upper esophagus, resulting in residue along the posterior pharyngeal wall and residue in the pyriform sinuses after the swallow. Which of the following would you recommend as most appropriate to address John's decreased pharyngeal constriction?
