She has been admitted in hospital with persistent pneumonia, and now she has a cough that has lasted over two months and neither is she responding to medication. Together with the cough has been diarrhea and vomiting which stopped. She is not able to bring out mucus on her own and sometimes accumulates in her chest needing physiotherapy.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi,

I feel she is having recurrent micro aspirations and that is the root cause for her recurrent respiratory symptoms. She might get better with gastrostomy feeding and please discuss this with her Pediatrician please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
