Hello,
Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.
If the J tube is clogged you can try syringing with warm water 20-30 ml. Attach the syringe to the tube and then flush. You can apply a mild pressure. If this does not work try pushing it and then pulling it slightly back. Repeat this. Please do not attempt any other measures / introduce any solids or liquids to clear the clogging. Please be gentle while doing this.
Please flush the tube as recommended by your Doctor / Nurse to prevent future clogging.
Thank you
Hope this helps
