Spine TB side effects
My mother in law is 66 yrs old and has been operated for spine TB in Aug 2013 for L4 and L5. After 6 months of her surgery she is unable to swallow any medicine. She claims that if she swallows medicine directly she is unable to do so. Hence we give her powder form of medicine. She feels the medicine doesn't go down her throat. is it possible?
