Patient's question:
Three days ago, the baby inhaled soft modeling clay into their nose. After checking with a nasal endoscope, nothing was visible. At the time, there was no coughing. Today, they have a slight fever. Should I wait and see carefully or seek medical attention?Doctor's answer:
Did the child catch a cold? Does the child have persistent coughing and shortness of breath? The child's condition may be a respiratory infection. It's recommended to drink more water and carefully observe the situation. It's mainly important to rule out the possibility of a foreign body in the trachea. If there is no frequent coughing, this condition can be preliminarily ruled out. If there is a slight fever, it's best to take the child to the pediatric department of a local hospital for a follow-up examination, and also visit the otolaryngology department for a check-up.
