No problems swallowing...
These symptoms can be directly related to the initial problems and/or as a result of the surgical procedures. This is not uncommon. I am sure this child is under the care of specialists who are well aware of this particular child and the possible causes for the continued symptoms. It is clear there are reasons the baby "coughs and gags
he could possibly have an aberrant artery or vein that passes between his esophagus and trachea...sometimes its not seen during surgery........soes he have trouble swallowing?
