Question
My three-year-old cried and choked while eating today. After half an hour, they started coughing again, and it was severe while they were sleeping tonight. They hadn’t had any coughing symptoms before. Is it possible they inhaled something into their trachea or another part? Is this dangerous? What should I do?
Answer
A three-year-old crying and choking while eating may be due to inhaling an object, which can lead to severe pneumonia if not treated. It is advisable to seek medical attention for relevant checks.
