Journal Article

Approaching a child with dyspnea, coughing, and wheezing, doctors must consider a foreign body in the respiratory tract, and bronchoscopy should be performed. This report described a child having sunflower seed aspiration late‐ and misdiagnosed as pneumonia. He failed with antibiotics therapy. The patient underwent a bronchoscopy, and then the seed was found and entirely removed. If a child has dyspnea, coughing, and wheezing, it is important to evaluate the possibility of foreign body aspiration, such as sunflower seed. If a foreign agent is present, bronchoscopy is an effective method for removing foreign objects.
