A member asked:

Can a nagging, persistent cough for almost 2 hours now after bottle feeding with no other s/s be aspiration pneumonia in a healthy 9-month old?

Dr. Oscar Novick answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Persistent cough: Your child may have aspirated, but i doubt if he could develop pneumonia in 2 hours. The milk may have just caused irritation and cough.
