Hi my dad who is 83 had a fall in his garden and fractured both sides of his jaws he was discharged from a&e the surgical team with antibiotics and advised to have a liquid diet .
They arenot sure if he’ll need surgery I’m praying not given his age , covid & he has copd so vunerable . We buried my beloved mum 3 weeks ago and he’s in bits .
I’m just wondering what I can give him to eat I’ve bought complan , soups , but am not sure what else he is frail and will lose weight but how can I keep the nutrients up
Has anyone else had a fractured jaw that healed well ? I know it depend on the severity and area of the break but I’m so scared
