A member asked:
My 4 month old baby has been struggling with choking since birth, on milk while drinking and sometimes saliva while just sitting or lying down. is this just part of growing up or can there be something wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Something wrong: Choking since birth is not normal infant behavior. This could be a sign of an problem within the esophagus/lung/trachea anatomy since birth. See an experienced pediatrician who can guide you to a diagnosis. Best of Luck and Thanks for using Healthtap!
