What to do if something is stuck in your baby's throat

The baby's body is very fragile. When something is stuck in the baby's throat, mothers will be very worried and anxious. We need to know what to do when something is stuck in the baby's throat. It would be best if we could take an effective method that does not harm the baby's throat. However, not every mother knows what to do when something is stuck in the baby's throat. If you encounter the same thing, you might as well take the following measures to solve this problem.

What to do if something is stuck in baby's throat

1. First of all, don’t be too anxious and see a doctor in time to avoid accidents. If drinking vinegar doesn't work, it means the blockage is not in the esophagus. This means that delaying treatment will cause damage to the throat, so it cannot be delayed. Do not swallow food in large mouthfuls such as rice or steamed buns blindly. This is only useful for mild choking injuries. If used improperly, it may cause damage to the throat.

2. If something is stuck in the baby's throat, parents should have first aid knowledge, but it is unlikely to be able to solve the problem completely, so parents should be prepared to go to the hospital after it happens, and then take reasonable first aid measures. When choosing a hospital, parents do not necessarily have to go to a children's hospital. They can choose a large, regular hospital nearby.

What are the symptoms of foreign objects stuck in baby's throat?

1. Most babies will experience paroxysmal coughing, choking, breath holding, cyanosis, and difficulty breathing after having a foreign object stuck in the throat. If it gets stuck in an important part, such as the main bronchi on both sides, the air will be severely obstructed, causing severe breathing difficulties and sometimes suffocation and death.

2. Since children are not very sensible, they often put coins or cores in their mouths and swallow them accidentally. Generally speaking, it will enter the digestive tract and may also enter the respiratory tract. If it enters the digestive tract and there is no discomfort, it will be excreted from the body with feces after a few days, because the narrowest part of the human digestive tract is the pharynx.

If the baby's throat is blocked and not treated in time, the baby is likely to be injured or suffocated. Therefore, family members should always stay with the baby and clear away small objects on the bed. Some scattered hair will entangle the baby's hands. If not discovered in time, the hair may grow into the baby's body, so pay attention to cleaning up the debris on the bed.
