A member asked:

What are the symptoms if my baby got an aspiration? or how will i know if my baby aspirates? and what should i do?

Persistent cough : These kids cough to clear the material or breathe rapidly as the aspiration causes changes in their lungs. It is obvious that the kid is having breathing difficulty/happens quickly. You take the kid to emergency.
