Hi, can i ask. Some gastrostomy tube have 2 ports. Especially after RIG procedure. The One port says feed on it and the other one says MEd. Does med mean medicine port? And is that where medications are administered???? Even when there is no feed running?
What may be the cause of a lot of burning / stinging sensation in feeding tube tract? Is there a possibility too much feed / water / medicines are being forced into the tract without any break of 2-3 hours? In the recent few months I notice it occuring in my site, Although I put up with it, from time-to-time it's no problem and feeds go in.
Thank you ❤

You can add meds to both ports. The med port just provides easy access if a feed is in progress.
