Patient's question:
Two-year-old baby choked on peanuts last Saturday evening and had a severe cough again, then vomited but it didn't come out. Later these past few days, he occasionally coughs and I sometimes hear a sawing-like sound in his throat during the day. Everything is normal during dinner and nap time. X-rays were taken and it was said to be inflammation. I'm wondering if the X-rays weren't clear enough to see the peanuts in his trachea. I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Since it's about filming, there's no need to worry. It will definitely be clear. Moreover, if there is a foreign body in the trachea, symptoms such as persistent severe coughing and difficulty breathing will reappear. If there is inflammation in the trachea, taking some anti-inflammatory medication will be sufficient. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 2-year-old baby choked on peanuts last Saturday evening and developed severe coughing?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
