Problems with swallowing (feeding)
Difficulty swallowing (feeding)  | Because parts of the mouth and throat are formed differently, children swallow air with their food. | A paediatrician films how food goed down by colouring the food (contrast fluid). This way the doctor can see where the food is and how quickly it goes down. | When the doctor has determined where the problem exactly is and how serious it is, you will get the appropiate advice. In some cases, the child will receive food through a tube in the nose (PEG-tube) or straight into the stomach (through a so called 'MIC-KEY button on the belly). |
