Can anyone give me advise on total laryngectomy please for my dad x

Hi, my dad had a total laryngectomy 2 years ago and all was ok (apart from many chest infections over the years) but 3 weeks ago eating has become a problem as he can't eat solids anymore due to it feeling like it's stuck and a gurgling sound. He's currently on a liquid diet but I'm wondering is there anyone out there that could relate to this and offer advice? He has COPD too which doesn't help but on many nebules for this. Any advice will be greatly appreciated x
