Patient's question:
I'd like to ask. My baby is 3 years old. Yesterday while eating an apple, her dad was teasing her. I don't know if she choked or what? She started coughing a bit, and since last night until now, she has been coughing non-stop.Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it is actually likely caused by dietary stimuli, so there's nothing to worry about. It is recommended to consider appropriate and careful observation to resolve the issue. For such situations, there's no need to be overly concerned. If the child experiences coughing again after defecation, and the symptoms are severe and not improving, it is important to consider whether it is due to choking into the trachea. Since the coughing symptoms have not improved, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a thorough examination and then receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintaining a proper lifestyle and dietary habits is also necessary.
