At first, he went to his grandmother for help, but the grandmother who was busy in the kitchen did not find the abnormality of the child, but only told the child not to enter the kitchen and be careful of scalding.
Then, the boy was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and he pointed to his throat and asked his sister for help.
Fortunately, my sister discovered her brother's abnormality and immediately used Heimlich's method to save her brother.
One, two, three... The moment I watched my brother spit out the food, I was really relieved.
Seeing that my brother was okay, my sister was still afraid: fortunately, my sister would give first aid.
Yes, fortunately, my sister will give first aid.
The foreign body is stuck in the throat, suffocating to the point that it cannot make a sound, and if the danger cannot be lifted in time, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Many netizens watched the video and also praised their sister:
"My sister saved me and reacted that I am so smart, it's good to have a sister."
"My brother is great, knows how to get my sister's attention, and won't blindly pick it."
"Fortunately, my sister can give first aid, it's really hot."
"Heimlich, my sister is powerful, I would rather not use it for life, not when it is not available."
"My sister is so powerful, this first aid method should be learned from elementary school."
"It is strongly recommended that schools should include Heimlich First Aid and CPR First Aid in their teaching materials."
My brother is very smart, my sister is also very good, and it is really lucky to encounter such a dangerous thing.

Pay attention to the danger of foreign bodies getting stuck in the throat
When it's serious, it can really kill people
Pregnant mothers should remind parents that if there are children at home, they must also learn first aid under the premise of safe feeding.
Because young children are really easy to choke.
In the news commentary, many parents shared their experiences of danger.
"The 1-year-old baby was stuck eating sugar, and his face was flushed, but fortunately he was rescued."
"My daughter was stuck eating sugar, which scared me to death, but fortunately I know some first aid."
"My 7-month-old daughter was stuck eating apples, and I was really scared and crying."
Such a dangerous experience is really scary when I think about it again.
Parents, foreign bodies stuck in the throat, once the child suffocates, the follow-up is really terrible, there are really too many such examples.
A 1-year-old boy in Guizhou choked on eating melon seeds, which entered the airway and was poisoned and unconscious when he was sent to the hospital.
In Zhoukou, Henan, an 8-month-old baby boy was stuck in the throat and trachea by an apple and could not breathe, the parents rushed the child to the hospital, but when they arrived at the hospital, the child was no longer able.
In Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, a girl under the age of one died choking on her throat after swallowing a plastic foreign object, and when she arrived at the hospital, the child had no vital signs.
This is not just a news case, this is the life of a living child is dying, and children are using their lives to wake up to everyone: pay attention to the danger of foreign bodies stuck in the throat, feed safely, and know how to give first aid correctly!
②
Proper first aid
A child's life can be saved at a critical time
To wake up to all parents: babies under 3 years old, chewing function is not perfect, coupled with narrow esophagus, trachea and esophagus are adjacent, easy to choke or choke by food.
Once a child is choked so that he cannot breathe, the consequences are really terrible.
Deprivation of oxygen for 10 seconds – the child will lose consciousness.
Deprivation of oxygen for 30 seconds – your child will have convulsions.
If there is no oxygen for more than 1 minute, your child's breathing will stop.
After 3 minutes – the child will cause edema of brain cells.
In more than 6 minutes – irreversible damage to your child's brain and other vital organs!
Every child and family cannot afford such an injury.
And the correct first aid can save the child's life at the moment of danger, because when an accident occurs, many times it is too late to send to the hospital for rescue, and the golden rescue time is only 5 minutes.
Heimlich First Aid is a world-recognized standard method for rescuing tracheal foreign body patients, and children of different ages have different operating techniques, which every parent must learn and master proficiently.
On April 13, 2021, a baby in Zhejiang Province was choked while eating sugar, and the father used the Heimlich method to save the child.
On November 13, 2021, a 1-year-old baby in Shaanxi Province was stuck eating apples, and the mother used the Heimlich first aid method to save the child.
Therefore, the correct first aid is very important, if the baby is choked, parents must be able to deal with it correctly, the following three points must be kept in mind:
First: Do not use the wrong rescue method
●Do not pick with your hands - unless something is not stuck deep and the child can vomit it by gagging, it is a waste of rescue time and may push a shallow foreign object into the depths.
●Do not feed water - If the child is choked by food that is easy to swell, be sure not to feed water, because the food will swell after absorbing water, it is easier to block the throat, and it will aggravate the suffocation.
●Do not pat the back - Never pat the back when the child is upright, the incorrect way to pat the back will shake the foreign body, which is likely to make the foreign body block the trachea tighter.
Second: correct handling of foreign bodies (esophagus) in the digestive tract
For digestive tract foreign bodies, the most important thing is to figure out what your baby is eating.
If the things you eat are sharp, relatively large, and poisonous, be sure to take the child to the hospital immediately, do not pick it with your hands, do not blindly let the child swallow, and do not blindly induce vomiting.
Third: Respiratory foreign bodies (trachea) should be rescued immediately
Respiratory foreign bodies are the most dangerous and serious, if the trachea is completely blocked and causes suffocation, the person may be gone in a few minutes, so parents must know the correct first aid.
Heimlich First Aid is a world-recognized standard method for rescuing tracheal foreign body patients, and children of different ages have different operating techniques, which every parent must learn and master proficiently.
@怡禾健康 has recorded a detailed video of the Heimlich First Aid Method, explained by pediatric Dr. Lin Hanlian, many people who have seen this video say that this is the clearest video about airway foreign body first aid, I hope every parent and caregiver can follow the following video to learn:

A few points to emphasize:
●If your child is choking, coughing, breathing, crying, or talking, this indicates that the trachea is not blocked (at least not completely), and do not use the Heimlich First Aid method.
The correct thing to do is to encourage the child to cough and discharge on his own, and if it cannot be discharged, go to the hospital as soon as possible, and try to comfort the child during this period.
●Airway obstruction cannot breathe, can not speak, face and lips are blue, should be rescued immediately, using the Heimlich first aid method above.
● Do not be overconfident in your first aid knowledge, parents should also call the emergency number when helping, if only the mother or a caregiver is around, turn on the mobile phone hands-free, and call for help while first aid.
● The first aid method can not be learned by reading it once, it must be practiced, practiced, and practiced.
③
Prevention is paramount
There are two things to keep in mind to protect your child
In order to reduce the risk of choking on children, parents must improve safety awareness, beware of high-risk foods, avoid dangerous feeding habits, and be wary of dangerous toys.
First: a blacklist of high-risk foods that are easy to choke children
●Ribs, apple chunks, melon seeds, and whole grapes are not foods that infants and young children can eat.
● Nuts. No.1 that causes suffocation, at any time, no one, should feed a child under 5 years old whole nuts, eat it, grind it into powder or small pieces and eat it.
● Jelly. Slippery jelly is easy to inhale into the trachea when swallowed, and coupled with the tension and easy deformation of the jelly itself, once the main trachea is blocked, the situation will be very critical.
● Candy. Hard candy is difficult to bite and smooth, easy to choke the throat, soft candy is tough, difficult to chew completely, and easy to block the respiratory tract.
●Round fruits. Grapes, cherries, longans, etc., children are easy to swallow whole, is a high-risk choking food, must be safely handled before giving children to eat.
● Large pieces of food. Too long noodles, large pieces of meat, if the child does not chew enough, can also easily be choked.
●Sticky foods. Sticky foods such as rice balls and rice cakes are easy to stick to the child's throat, and they cannot swallow or vomit, and if they do not come out in time, they will also hinder breathing. ●Unboned fish and meat. This type of food not only carries the risk of choking, but also the risk of scratching your child's esophagus.
Round fruits should be safely treated before being given to children
Second: Do not do high-risk feeding behaviors
●Do not force your child to feed when he cries. When the baby cries, the parents' forced feeding can easily cause the child to inhale food into the trachea, causing the child to have difficulty breathing or suffocation, which will seriously threaten the child's life.
● Do not eat while walking. Your child's swallowing function needs to be perfected slowly, and it is easy to choke when the child is distracted while eating.
● Don't make your child laugh while eating. At no time should you make your child laugh while eating, and don't joke about your child's life.
In the child's diet, be sure to keep it safe, do not forcibly feed the child, let alone feed the child indiscriminately.
Third: dangerous toys to deal with
In the child's life, also pay attention, especially toy safety, according to hospital statistics, there are countless pearls, glass beads, coins, and blocks swallowed by the child, please choose safe toys according to the baby's grade.
●Pay attention to the appropriate age recommendations for toy labels. Do not choose toys that are only suitable for children over the age of three to play with.
● Handle small toys. 6-month-old babies will have more flexible fingers, and they also like to put small objects in their mouths, so do not put coins, glass balls, batteries, buttons and other objects that are easy to be used as toys by the baby in the place where the baby can reach to avoid suffocation.
● Check the integrity of the toy, see if there are any parts that are easy to fall off, and if there are, do not give it to the baby.
● Pay attention to and follow all instructions on the toy.
●Avoid touching toys containing waves and balls, especially children under 3 years old.
●Do not buy small toys with small and detachable components to avoid being swallowed or inhaled by children.
●Balloons that have been deflated or have broken should be discarded in time to avoid suffocation by children.
●Throw away all useless toys and plastic bags for children's toys to avoid suffocation in children.
Finally: I hope that all parents and caregivers of children must keep safety in life, and also learn the necessary first aid knowledge, and hope that every child can grow up healthily.
