How Is Chronic Cough Related to ENT Problems?

Not all coughs are lung-related! Chronic cough (lasting >8 weeks) may be linked to ENT issues such as:
🔸 Post-nasal drip
🔸 Allergies
🔸 Acid reflux (LPR)
🔸 Vocal cord irritation
🔸 Throat lumps or masses

If cough persists despite treatment, consult your ENT for a full airway evaluation.

What Is Aspiration and Why Is It Dangerous?

Aspiration happens when food, liquid, or saliva enters the airway and lungs instead of the stomach.

⚠️ It can lead to:
🔹 Pneumonia

🔹 Breathing difficulties

📌 Persistent coughing during meals or recurrent chest infections may be a warning sign. Early ENT evaluation is important.

What Is Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

It’s a Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) where a child’s breathing stops or becomes shallow due to blocked upper airway (often from large tonsils/adenoids).

Signs include loud snoring, restless sleep, daytime sleepiness, and poor attention in school.
Diagnostics include upper airway endoscopy and polysomnography (sleep study).

Treatment may involve tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy or CPAP therapy.
