Symptoms of fishbone stuck in one-year-old baby

In life, when we feed fish to babies, even if parents are very careful, some tiny thorns may still get stuck in the throat. The thorns stuck in the throat will make the baby cry all the time, or even cough incessantly, and vomiting may occur easily. At this time, don't be anxious. First, stabilize the child's emotions, and then use some methods to relieve it.

Tools/Raw Materials

The correct way to do it is to first let the baby open his mouth as wide as possible, then find a flashlight to illuminate the baby's throat, and observe the size and position of the fishbone. If the fishbone can be seen and is easily accessible, parents can use tweezers (preferably wiped clean with alcohol cotton) to directly remove it. When clipping the fishbone out, parents need to cooperate with each other. One person holds the baby's head and illuminates it with a flashlight, while the other person is responsible for clipping out the fishbone.

If you cannot see any fish bone in your baby's throat, but your baby has difficulty and pain swallowing, or if you can see the fish bone but it is located deep and difficult to remove, you must take your baby to the hospital as soon as possible and ask the doctor to treat it. Careful observation should be made within two or three days after the fish bone is removed. If the baby still has symptoms such as sore throat, abnormal eating or drooling, be sure to take the baby to the ENT department of a regular hospital for examination to see if there is any residual foreign body.

How to give first aid when a baby gets fish stuck in the throat? For babies, how to avoid fish bones stuck in the throat?

1. When choosing fish, you can choose more pomfret, striped fish and other fish, because these fish have more meat and fewer bones, and are more suitable for babies to eat.

2. In terms of the preparation method, first wash the processed fish, then take about 100 grams of meat from the belly of the fish, chop it into fish paste after careful inspection to make sure there are no fish bones, then add a little salt and chopped green onions and stir evenly, then put the mixed fish paste into a porcelain or iron bowl and steam it.

3. It is best not to freeze the leftover fresh fish for your baby to eat next time, because it will no longer be fresh, and freezing it is not good for the child's stomach. In addition, when babies first start to add fish as complementary food, they generally eat less, so parents can also buy ready-made fish paste for their babies to eat, and then make it themselves when the baby gradually adapts and the appetite increases.

If mothers are afraid that their children will be choked by bones, they can choose tilapia, whitebait, cod, herring, catfish, yellow croaker, flounder and other fish that have almost no small bones. Fish heads are high in DHA. There is an old saying in our country that it is better to throw away a donkey's head than a fish head. But be careful not to eat fish that are too large (such as tuna), as they contain high mercury.
