She has been admitted in hospital with persistent pneumonia, and now she has a cough that has lasted over two months and neither is she responding to medication. Together with the cough has been diarrhea and vomiting which stopped. She is not able to bring out mucus on her own and sometimes accumulates in her chest needing physiotherapy. She has a cocktail of medicines that she takes every morning, lunchtime and evening. She is visibly fatigued by this. Please advice
Hi, I feel she is having recurrent micro aspirations and that is the root cause for her recurrent respiratory symptoms. She might get better with gastrostomy feeding, and please discuss this with her Pediatrician . Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
