I am so afraid for my kid, that I just do not know what to do. I know that he is just a small child, only three years old, but does he have to put everything in his mouth. And I mean, literally everything. Even those things that cannot possibly be in his mouth. But the big things are not worrying me, small stuff is the problem. He can swallow them and that would be disastrous. Bronchitis aspiration is frightening me to death. What am I to do?
When we talk about the bronchitis aspiration of foreign objects, we all realize that it can only happen to small children, age 2 to 3. It is a period in their lives when they examine the world around them, even their own bodies are interested to them (constant nose picking, for example).Sometimes small foreign object can get to the right bronchi and get stuck there (right one is wider). Watch him that is the best advice. If he swallows something it might get complicated, even endoscopy might be needed.
