A member asked:

If my 2 year old aspirated part of a sucker 24 hrs ago, would he have other symptoms besides occasional cough and scratchy throat.

Specializes in Pediatrics - Adolescent Medicine

Yes: If he inhaled a part then he would have a bad cough and eventually trouble breathing or noisy breathing. If he swallowed the piece then he could have the same symptoms or trouble eating and drinking. If he has the breathing symptoms, he should go to the emergency room.
