Patient's question:
Doctor, a four-year-old child ate two vitamin C tablets last night, but suddenly started coughing. After a while, it improved. However, the child has had a cold recently, and today there is a rattling sound in the throat with phlegm. 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 your worries and questions. Based on your description, a 4-year-old child suddenly choked after eating two Vitamin C tablets. Is there a relationship with 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. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy and greasy foods, and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. Feed the child with rock sugar pear juice often.
