Is Food Choking In Infants A Cause For Serious Concern?
My 10 month old grand daughter just got choked at lunch. What ever caused it apparently dislodged with some hard coughing, jostling patting and holding her head low. After she began breathing normally she went immediately to sleep. We work her several times and she seemed ok and finally let me know she was displeased at being woken. I did not see anything that she choked on. What should I watch for?

HI...I suggest you take her to the emergency room and get her checked by a physician. As to your question - you should look for -
1. Fast breathing.
2. Seizures
3. Intense cough
4. Respiratory distress
5. High grade fever
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
