Suggest Treatment To Clear Gooey Mucus Of 5 Month Old
My 5 month old granddaughter has clear gooey mucas that causes her to choke, what is the solution for clearing this up. She is not sick. It's very unnerving @ 3am when she starts coughing and choking. It only happens when she sleeps worse @ night than during her daytime naps.
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Thick mucus in this age group up to the level of choking a kid is very abnormal. Instead of methods to clear the mucus, I suggest to work up for think mucus and choking. The possibilities I could think of are - 1. Cystic Fibrosis (mention of birth weight and current weight would have been useful) 2. Palatopharyngeal incompetence. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
