A newborn has dribbling after feeds. She presents with respiratory distress and frothing from the mouth. What is the likely diagnosis:
Feeding is often associated with coughing, drooling, choking and cyanosis in a neonate with Tracheoesophageal fistula. The excessive salivation is due to the associated oesophageal atresia. The earliest clinical symptom is polyhydramnion, which indicates oesophageal atresia.
