Is it good to drink milk after a stroke?
Patients with cerebral infarction can drink milk, but it must be analyzed according to the specific condition at the time because patients with cerebral infarction often experience coma and accompanying dysphagia with coughing. In such cases, drinking milk is not a problem, but attention must be paid to changes in dietary habits. If necessary, a gastric tube must be inserted through the nose into the stomach for feeding to avoid direct oral intake, which can cause coughing, aspiration, and lead to pneumonia. Therefore, this point must be carefully considered. For ordinary people in daily life, a cup of milk a day is a very good choice because milk mainly contains protein and does not contain a lot of fat and sugar. For patients with cerebral infarction, this diet is very ideal. If fresh milk can be used in everyday life, it is more beneficial for promoting the patient's recovery.
