Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Speech and Swallow: Please ask your PCP for an evaluation also with speech and swallow specialists. Your PCP may also like to order a barium swallow test. Autoimmune disease is one possible cause or a lodged foreign body. Monitor for fever, and please have an evaluation soon.
