Description:Treatment Medical Therapy A cleft palate is primarily a surgical problem, so no particular medical therapy exists for the condition. However, complications of a cleft palate, including feeding problems, airway obstruction, and otitis media, may require medical management prior to repair. Feeding problems Feeding a baby with a cleft lip and palate can be a challenge. Usually, a team of professionals is available to help the family meet this challenge by providing information regarding feeding and nutritional needs. An evaluation of the patient's swallowing skills for signs of aspiration or dysphagia is an important part of this assessment. A nutritionist can help establish a feeding regimen that provides appropriate energy intake for optimal nutrition and growth.
