Question
If a child vomits after swallowing an object, does it mean the object is stuck in the throat?
Answer
Vomiting and coughing after a child swallows an object could be symptoms of a cold. It’s advisable to monitor the child’s bowel movements closely, as the object might be expelled with feces. Encourage the child to drink plenty of water and consider giving antiviral medication. If the situation does not improve or worsens, it’s important to seek medical attention for the child as soon as possible. Wishing you health!
