Mr. Lin's two children played alone at home, the 3-year-old brother was hungry, the 8-year-old brother fed the younger brother a jelly, did not expect the younger brother to eat a few bites, he choked, waved his hands wildly, shouted, wanted to shout a second sound, but could not shout out...
The brother hurried to the neighbor for help, and quickly called his parents. The neighbor rushed the child to the hospital, and when he arrived, the brother's face had turned very ugly and unconscious. Unfortunately, after rescue, my brother could not wake up.
The main ingredient of jelly is carrageenan, which is elastic, for children before the age of six or seven, especially for smaller babies, because their trachea is relatively narrow, the ability to eat is not yet sound, when eating jelly carelessly may be inhaled into the trachea, resulting in serious consequences.
Parents must be careful of these 7 foods
1. Nuts (peanuts, melon seeds, almonds, cashews, etc.)
Nuts are good for the growth of children, but the particles are relatively small, the child is easy to hold in the hand, will also swallow the whole thing in the mouth, because it will not be chewed, accidentally swallowed directly, it is easy to enter the trachea. Therefore, when eating nuts, parents are best to crush or grind them into powder before feeding them to their children.
2. Jelly
Especially small jelly, you can suck it into your mouth in one breath. When the child eats jelly, he will suck it hard, and if he uses too much force, he will suck it into the trachea. Therefore, parents either crush the jelly or take a spoon for the child to dig and eat.
3. Candy (gummies, hard candies)
Sugars do not melt quickly and enter the trachea as easily as they move. Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended that parents give their children sugar, which is not good for teeth and the body.
4. Small fruits (grapes, cherry tomatoes, cherries)
Children can't bite, can only swallow directly, it is easy to choke. Even if it is small, parents should cut it into small pieces.
5. Chunks of meat (lean meat, ham sausage)
Lean meat is harder, if it is a large piece, the child is also easy to choke, and the same is true for the ham sausage. Parents should chop and rot before giving it to their children.
6. Spiny fish
Generally speaking, being stuck by a small thorn will not pose a danger to the child's life, but if it is a large thorn, it will puncture the esophagus, which is immediately fatal. Therefore, when parents cook fish for their children to eat, they must pick out the thorns.
7. Glutinous rice eating (tangyuan, rice cakes, rice dumplings)
It is very sticky and difficult to swallow without chewing thoroughly, which is not suitable for children.
Infants and young children are choked in the throat, what should parents do?
Once the child is choked, it may die in a few minutes, and adults must actively save themselves in addition to calling an ambulance to send them to the hospital in time. If the trachea is not completely blocked, the child may cough violently if he is still breathing, in which case the parents should keep the child's body stable and send the foreign body to the hospital immediately without moving the foreign body in the trachea.
