Patient's question:
A two-year-old baby choked on peanuts last Saturday evening and had a severe cough again, then vomited but it didn't come out. In the following days, he occasionally coughed and I heard a sawing-like sound in his throat during the day. Everything was normal during dinner and nap time. X-rays were taken and it was said to be inflammation. I'm wondering if the X-rays weren't clear enough to see the peanuts in the trachea. I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Since it's filming, there's no need to worry. It will definitely be clear. Moreover, if there is an object in the trachea, symptoms such as persistent severe coughing and difficulty breathing will reappear. If there is inflammation in the trachea, taking some anti-inflammatory medication will be sufficient. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 2-year-old baby chokes on peanuts last Saturday night and has severe coughing?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
