Patient's question:
The one-week-old baby had lunch and ate millet and yam porridge. He choked and coughed for a while, but then stopped. In the afternoon, he started coughing again, and it continued into the evening as well. He coughed many times until now. The baby seems to have a slight cold with phlegm. I'm not sure if the cough is due to a foreign object in the lungs from dinner or if it's caused by the cold. If there's a foreign object in the lungs, the cough will be severe!!!Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the current physical condition and symptoms of the good baby, it is expressed that the baby coughed again after the dinner rice particles were inhaled. 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. Wish you health!
