Hi! Insertion of a nasogastric tube is indicated in the following cases: Feeding, feeding, monitoring the disease and draining gastric juice... In your case, what is the purpose of placing a nasogastric tube? If to nourish the pump but now can eat on its own, you should remove the tube. As for the placement of a tube with indications for monitoring and drainage, you should consult a doctor who is planning to place a nasogastric tube.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
