A member asked:
What can you do if you got a really bad cough and you had esophageal atresia surgery as a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uber-late fistula: With esophageal atresia, one would worry whether you ever had a tracheo-esophageal fistula. If so, the cough could signal some kind of leak in the integrity of the esophagus. Get to an ENT (airway) or GI (food path) so that you can get checked out.
