My grandmother is unable to eat anything and is also finding it difficult to swallow. It has been a week and she's consuming very little amount of liquids and is mostly unconscious. Her condition is deteriorating every passing day. She is around 85 years of age. We are told that her esophagus has shrunk and there's no cure. Can you please help? Is there anything we can dissolve in water to give her which might help in replacing food? Or any other kind of injections? Any possible thing which can overcome the deficiency caused by not eating food?

Give her green leaves soup. Make soup of 3-4 different kinds of soup, add some other veggies. This will provide good nutrition to her. Avoid giving white sugar in her food. Giver her herbal tea made of tulsi, mint, elaichi, ginger and dalchini, with a little jaggery. This will provide her good nutrition.
