Patient's question:
Doctor, a four-year-old child ate two vitamin C tablets last night but suddenly coughed hard. After a while, it got better. However, the child has had a cold recently, and today there is mucus in the throat. I don't know if the vitamin C got into the trachea. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
I am very willing to help you solve problems and answer questions. According to your description, a 4-year-old child suddenly choked after eating two vitamin C tablets, and is it related to the medication? The child already had a cold, and the coughing after taking the medicine was just a coincidental accident. There is no need to worry. The child has a cough with phlegm, so I suggest you prepare for the child's home care management, drink more water, rest more, and keep warm. Eat a light diet, avoid spicy and greasy food, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Feed the child often with honey pear juice.
