Is It Normal To Have Reflux And Coughs In 5 Months Old After A Surgery For Floppy Larynx?
Hello, My 5 month old had DS and a brain abnormality called HPE and she has a heart defect TOF. She just had surgery to correct her floppy larynx. Dr said IF she aspirated before she might afterwards....I m not seeing aspiration, we are seeing reflux...again! We can actually see her struggle and watch from her body language that it s rising up. She coughs and struggles. Is this normal and drs said it will go away within 2 weeks. We are so nurses. What do u think
Yes its normal...it may take longer than 2 weeks to go away...but it will disappear at the end , you can check with her doctor to give her something to relieve the cough
