Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old. Due to severe choking, there was a suspicion of a foreign body in the trachea. Within 2 days, we had a chest X-ray, a chest fluoroscopy, and one CT scan. Later, it was ruled out. How significant is this impact? Is the radiation exposure very high? I am very worried now! I hope the doctor can answer this. Thank you very much!!!Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, an 18-year-old child taking a chest X-ray, scanning, and CT scan, the radiation is understandable. It is recommended not to worry excessively about it, as this radiation is acceptable. Recently, eat more fruits and vegetables, and it will gradually be eliminated. The above is the advice for the question "Seeking advice on chest X-ray and CT scan for young children?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
