A member asked:

My eight year old daughter had a ng tube in her espaugus. is this serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: An NG tube is supposed to pass through the esophagus into the stomach.Sometimes it will slip back and need to be re-positioned.That is a routine problem in dealing with patient care. The more serious issue would be why it is needed in the first place.
