TREATMENT OF PRIMARY ASPIRATION IN CHILDREN: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL TO DETERMINE EFFECTS OF UNLIMITED ORAL INTAKE OF WATER IN CHILDREN WITH DOCUMENTED ASPIRATION ON THIN FLUIDS.

This study is for infants and children who have been found to be swallowing food or liquid into their lungs (called aspiration) during a special X-ray swallowing test. Aspiration can lead to lung problems. The study tests whether children who aspirate thin fluids (like water) do better if they are allowed to drink water freely, compared to children who are restricted to thickened fluids only.
