That’s so interesting; thanks for sharing. Do you know what the purpose of the Botox is, to help with swallowing?

My dad gets Botox; however it’s to decrease hyper-salivation. Since Botox temporarily paralyzes some of the nerves there that produce saliva, it decreases salivation. And I get Botox for a similar reason, but for hyperhidrosis related to an autonomic nervous system condition.

So I’ve only thought of it has weakening or turning down nerves and muscles, not for making something stronger.

I was tried with Botox for hypersalivation but it didn't seem to help. At this point, nothing seems to help. So I feel at a deadend with this symptom. Would like to hear any suggestions of what is driving this symptom (including excessive flem, watering eyes, running nose) Seems my whole head is draining.
