First aid tips for children with foreign objects stuck in their throats and choking. Parents, please get started!

When infants and young children sleep on the bed, soft quilts, pillows, toys, and plastic bags cover the baby\’s mouth and nose, and even cover the face, which prevents the baby from breathing fresh air and causes suffocation. Therefore, the quilt or pillow used by the baby should be somewhat hard, and do not place any unnecessary things in the crib. A mother falls asleep while breastfeeding her baby in the middle of the night, causing the breast to press on the baby\’s mouth and nose, or the baby overflows milk after feeding. If the overflowed milk chokes into the lungs when lying down, it can easily cause suffocation. Therefore, mothers should stay seated and awake when breastfeeding at night. After the baby has finished feeding, she should pick her up, pat her back gently, and then lay her baby down on her side. When parents and babies sleep together, if the adult accidentally presses the baby\’s mouth and nose with his arm while he is sleeping, and the baby is unable to resist, it can also cause suffocation. Therefore, it is best for babies to sleep separately from their parents, with a small bed next to the big bed, which is both safe and convenient for care. When the baby is just able to turn over and is not flexible, sleeping on the stomach but has no strength to turn back, or when suffering from tracheitis or bronchitis, there is a lot of respiratory secretions, which may cause suffocation. For safety reasons, it is best to avoid sleeping on the stomach, which may cause respiratory problems. If you are sick, seek medical advice as soon as possible and pay attention to your baby\’s sleeping position. When parents force-feed medicine to a crying baby, the medicine may choke into the trachea and cause suffocation. Feeding must be done slowly or a special baby medicine feeder must be used. When the baby starts to add complementary food, due to imperfect chewing function, hard food should not be chewed, especially when eating peanuts, beans and jelly. It is easy to accidentally swallow the whole food, and the stem will stick to the entrance of the trachea, causing suffocation. Children under 3 years old It is best not for infants and young children to eat the above foods. In addition, food must be cut into small pieces and the eyes must not be taken away from the eating infants and young children. When babies play with some plastic bags and balloons, they may accidentally swallow them in their mouths. Some threads or ropes on aprons and clothes may also cause suffocation when wrapped around their necks. In short, there are causes of suffocation everywhere in the environment, so special attention must be paid to not placing any unnecessary things around infants and young children.
