Hi,
I suggest you to tell him to take hot water gargle and hot food stuff. Reduce cold food stuff. It can be side effect of the Parkin. Tell him to slowly have the food. Reduce the size of food stuff taking in.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohit S. Menon, Dentist
