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. Will this have a significant 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 your description, for a 18-year-old child, taking a chest X-ray, scanning, and CT scans, 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 suggestion for the question "Seeking advice on chest X-ray and CT scans for young children?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
