A member asked:
I had meconium aspiration when i was born. can that cause lung problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Once you are grown, it should not have any lasting effects. As an infant, they will sometimes have problems with lung disease, but if it has not happened by now, it is unlikely to happen in the future.
