Patient's question:
The one-week-old baby had lunch with yam and millet porridge. He choked and coughed for a while, but then it stopped. In the afternoon, he started coughing again, and it continued into the evening. He coughed many times until now. The baby seems to have a slight cold with phlegm. I don't know if the cough is due to a foreign object in the lungs from dinner or if it's caused by the cold. If there is a foreign object in the lungs, the cough will be severe!!!Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the current physical condition and illness of the good baby, it has been expressed that the baby coughed again after choking on dinner rice grains. Therefore, it is preliminarily suspected that the baby's cough may be related to food aspiration into the trachea. It is recommended that you take the baby to a formal hospital's pediatric department for examination and treatment. The above is the suggestion for the question "The baby has a slight cold with phlegm, and I don't know if there is a food foreign body in the lungs?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
