Hi Doctor, My child is now 1.8 years old. He has birth defect Trachea Eusophageal fistula. He is operated twice for TEF, another surgery for GERD and was in gastrostomy feeding until a year old. His height and weight are normal as per the age. He is doing good now. He is super active, eating 100 percent orally. Eating well, walking, trying to speak words. My concern is, He is getting frequent cold and cough. Atleast once in every month which gets better after 10 to 12 days. Is it normal after effects of multiple surgeries or something to worry? Please guide me as this is worrying me a lot. Also, since he started solids very late due to medical conditions, he is swallowing food Instead of chewing and hence i am giving only soft and mashed food in fear of food being stuck in eusophagus. Will the baby learn chewing as he grows? or is it something of concern. Thank you very much for help!
