First of all, a child with a foreign body in the trachea, usually a relatively large child who is able to grab food, most often cries and chokes while eating, has a violent cough, and in some cases, causes breathing difficulties. What parents can do in this situation is to clear the airway and then immediately rush to the hospital where doctors will perform diagnostic imaging and may immediately arrange for surgical treatment with a tracheoscope. Tracheoscopy is a relatively safe procedure that is not invasive for the child. The main risk to the child is that if the child becomes agitated during the tracheoscopy, the operation may damage the intrinsic tissues of the tracheal wall and may even cause asphyxia. There is a risk of airway abrasions, bleeding, and laryngeal edema during tracheal manipulation. However, these complications can be greatly reduced, or even absent, with good preoperative preparation of the child and practice of the operation.
