HI rie 7:

No two Strokes are alike,just as no two Snowflakes are alike.
Therefore,there is no way of predicting when the Ability to swallow will be restored,if ever.

I had a Stroke in my Brain Stem (the Medulla ).I could not swallow for about five Days.Then I regained that Ability.

His Doctor is the best Source to ask this Question.But,it will only be
An educated Guess.
