Patient's question:
That's right, yesterday at 3 PM, after the baby had a full nap and burped out a mouthful of milk, they started crying and their voice became a bit hoarse. So far, their temperature hasn't dropped, they have a low-grade fever, and they've coughed five times (two of which might have happened while feeding because they might have hurried). They are still eating normally, sleeping deeply, and their spirits are good, but their voice is still hoarse. Could they get pneumonia? If it's aspiration pneumonia, how long will it take for symptoms to appear?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. If the baby chokes on milk, coughs, and has a hoarse voice, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a blood test and a chest X-ray, to assess the severity of lung infection. If necessary, intravenous treatment may be required. This is the advice for the question "Why did the baby cough and breathe out a mouthful of milk at 2 PM after waking up?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
