Symptoms of fish bones stuck in children's mouths

Many people like to eat fish, and there are many kinds of fish on the market, and there are many ways to cook them. Most people know that fish not only has low calories, but also contains rich protein and a variety of fatty acids, which are very good for the human body. Most people like to eat fish and like to let their children eat fish. Babies often eat fish to promote the development of their brains. So what are the common symptoms of fish bones stuck in young children's bodies?

The fish is stuck in the throat, it is not recommended to swallow anything!

When a fish bone gets stuck in your mouth while eating fish, the initial location is usually shallow, most commonly near the tonsils. It can be easily resolved if you seek medical attention in time or have it removed by clamping it out. On the contrary, using traditional methods such as swallowing food will push the fish bone deeper and deeper into the mucosa. It may also push the fish bone into the throat and esophagus, making it more difficult to remove.

In addition, there are many large blood vessels around the throat and esophagus. Fish bones may cause heavy bleeding when they pierce the blood vessels, or pierce the mucosa to cause infection, suppuration, and abscess formation, which may eventually lead to life-threatening infection.

When a child is stuck with a fish bone, the correct approach is:

Observe the location of the fishbone:

You can ask the child to open his mouth and the adult can use a flashlight to observe the location of the fishbone. If the fishbone can be seen with the child's mouth open, the adult can use chopsticks or tweezers to pick it out while fixing the child's mouth. If the fish bone cannot be seen, it is best for adults to take the child to the hospital and let the doctor treat it.

If the fish bone is small:

Adults can put clean fingers or chopsticks into the child's mouth and press the root of the tongue to make the child feel nauseous and vomit. It is best to vomit violently and spit out everything he has eaten, and the small fish bones will come out with the food.

What should I do if my baby gets a fish bone stuck in his throat? This is the right thing to do.

If the fish bone is large:

If you are not sure about the size of the fish bone, or know that it is very large, adults must not let the child swallow anything, nor should they blindly make the child vomit. They must go to the hospital in time and let the doctor treat it. Blindly swallowing or vomiting may cause the fish bone to pierce the child's throat and esophagus, causing greater harm!

Be careful when feeding these to children

In addition to fish bones getting stuck in your throat, there are many other foods that can easily cause a child's trachea to be blocked by foreign objects. Parents generally do not restrict their children, not realizing that this has become a health hazard for their children.

1. Jelly

Accidents can easily occur when swallowing jelly, so parents must not be careless! When feeding jelly to children, do not feed it as a whole. You can crush it first and then feed it to the child.

2.QQ sugar, candy

QQ candies are small and elastic. If you eat them while talking, they may get stuck in your trachea, causing suffocation. If your baby is under 2 years old, eating QQ candy is very dangerous and it is best not to give it to your baby.

3. Shredded squid

Snacks with too long fibers and a hard bite, including squid shreds and beef jerky, are not suitable for children.

4. Peanut Butter

The viscosity is too high and not suitable for children to swallow.

5. Nuts

Peanut kernels, melon seed kernels, almonds, etc. are small, and babies' teeth have not yet fully grown, so they cannot chew them thoroughly. If they are not careful when eating, they may be inhaled into the trachea. Therefore, do not feed whole nuts to babies under 2 years old. You can crush the nuts and put them in porridge.
