Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Stroke of medulla oblongata can lead to problems such as weakness of arms and legs, difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Once the patient is stable, he would require physiotherapy and speech therapy to ensure good recovery.
In addition, his risk factors such as sugar and BP should be kept under good control.
Best wishes,
