How to determine if a child has a fish bone stuck in his throat?

Fish is a common food in our lives. It is rich in protein and easily absorbed by the human body. It tastes delicious and is very popular among the elderly and children. Children who eat fish regularly can become smarter. But the only drawback is that fish bones always cause us a lot of trouble when eating fish, especially children are easily stuck by fish bones when eating fish. If the child does not tell the parents after being stuck and continues to eat other foods, the consequences will be disastrous! How to tell if a child has a fish bone stuck in his throat? The method is as follows:

1. According to the child's reaction and expression

If a baby is stuck by a fish bone, he will definitely express pain and discomfort, and will be afraid to swallow. You can roughly judge the location of the fish bone based on the child's reaction and expression, let the child open his mouth wide and explore. If it can be removed, it's best. Otherwise, go to the hospital immediately to see a specialist for treatment.

2. Don’t eat anything after getting a fish bone stuck in your throat

The doctor said that when a child is stuck with a fish bone, he should not eat anything immediately, not even water. There are two misunderstandings that need to be clarified. The first is that children should not swallow rice balls, vegetable balls, or bananas, thinking that this will help swallow the fish bone. In fact, doing so will cause the bone spur to go deeper into the throat and there is a risk of piercing the throat. The second is that children should not be allowed to drink vinegar, thinking that vinegar can soften the fish bone. In fact, the bone spur cannot be softened, and the acidity of vinegar will cause inflammation of the throat wound. Everyone must remember this.

3. Don’t panic if you get a fish bone stuck in your throat

The doctor said that the child was stuck by a fish bone. As a parent, you must not panic. Besides, it is already very uncomfortable for the child to have a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he may even be a little scared. If you scare him any more, the child will become even more panicked. This is not conducive to removing fish bones

4. Go to the hospital immediately

If the fish bone is stuck deep, take your child to a nearby clinic and have the doctor remove the fish bone. Then take some anti-inflammatory drugs regularly and feed your child some porridge or something.

Note:  

Parents should be careful not to panic, as panicking can only make things worse. They should take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
