FUC of TEF TYPE C
Hi Dr., when my baby was born he was diagnosed with FUC of TEF Type C with esophageal structure. He has undergone successful surgery on the second day of his birth. He has also under gone through 4 times AG esophageal dilatation with rubber bougie.
Now the problem is he is vomiting to much when he eats food. He is not chewing his food just swallow as he does not know how to chew. He eats only cerelac, dalia sometimes khichdi also.
But vomiting is the main problem. What is the solution for this problem please guide me to is permanent solution.
Attached is his surgery report and X-ray(UGI Contrast) of his food pipe dated 18-March-2019 before his last dilatation.
Thanks
Nutan
