The 2-year-old girl choked and had to go to the emergency room for the fishs unexpected part

The little girl choked on eating fish, the reason she was having difficulty breathing again made her hard to imagine. Her daughter was not choking on her fishbone but choking on another part of the fish.

In addition to the fishbone, there are other organs that are dangerous for children

When children begin to practice raw food, parents, apart from having to pay attention to nutritional balance, the choking problem also causes parents a headache.

Especially in babies who are not chewing well or are gluttonous, eating too quickly, food scooping can happen "like a meal".

Recently a 2-year-old girl named Xiao Diem Diem in China was hospitalized in an emergency because she ate fish. She was a gluttonous girl, able to feed herself quite well, so Diem Diem's ​​mother rarely had to urge her to eat. Babies especially love to eat fish.

But everyone knows fish can be quite a nuisance for young children when it has many small bones. If the mother does not remove it carefully, the child will easily choke his ankle.

Because her daughter likes to eat fish, Diem Diem's ​​mother often cooks fish with many different ways for her child. She took off her fish bones especially carefully, often choosing large fish and fish with less bones for her children to eat.

At the meal that day, after carefully removing the herringbone, she put the fish on a plate for her to scoop. Just when he got a phone call, Diem Diem's ​​mother got up to answer the phone.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she encountered the dreadful scene when her daughter was showing difficulty breathing due to choking on food.

 

The girl's mother choked when she ate fish and immediately took her to the hospital

She hastily practiced first aid measures for her child, but it did not work.

This mother immediately took her child to the hospital, fortunately her daughter was then promptly treated by the doctors. But the cause of her difficulty breathing made it hard for her to imagine.

Her daughter was not choking on her fishbone but choking on another part of the fish. It's a fish bubble!

Diem Diem's ​​mother recalled that the fish she bought was quite large, so the bubble was quite large. She thought the soft part would do no harm, and forgot to chop it up.

But the fish bubble is tough, because the baby's ability to chew is still poor. The baby cannot chew, but swallows a large piece to become choking.

Through the above story we can see, every aspect of young children is still very weak and fragile. Children can be in danger at any time, with things that seem to have no effect.

To minimize choking problem when eating in children, parents must pay attention

Do not let children eat and play

Many parents think that the child is normal to eat while playing with toys and phone as long as they finish the meal. The fact of eating and playing makes children not focus on the meal, also creates bad habits in eating.

More seriously, it makes it easier for the child to choke. Parents also need to be a good role model for their children to follow when they themselves need to remove the phone from the table first.

 

Eating while playing makes children not focus on their meals, and also creates bad eating habits

Do not urge children to eat fast

Parents, when they see that their children eat slowly, will have a habit of urging their children to eat quickly or inviting children to play a game to see who eats faster.

That's not really good at all. Firstly, the child's digestive ability is still limited, and chew food quickly, causing indigestion.

Second, it can increase the risk of a child choking because they have not chewed and swallowed. Parents must teach their children to chew well before swallowing and give them enough time to finish the meal.

Do not force your baby to eat while crying

There have been cases where the mother forced her to eat porridge while crying, leading to asphyxiation and death. That shows how dangerous it is to feed a baby while crying.

This action of parents easily makes food fall into the windpipe, blocking the child's airway. Comfort your baby to stop crying and calm him down before feeding him.

Even when a child is smiling, parents are not allowed to feed a baby for the same reason as when a baby is crying.

How to treat when a child has a bone

According to MA.BS Nguyen Van Aluminum, Deputy Head of Positive Rehabilitation Department, City International Hospital Ho Chi Minh City, when a child has a bone, parents need to calm down and promptly handle the following steps:

- Step 1: Stop feeding the baby and gently reassure the baby. Babies with bones often fussy and cry, need to comfort them to prevent fish bones from getting stuck deeper.

 

Children with ankle choke is a fairly common phenomenon, even experienced by adults

- Step 2: Ask your baby to open his mouth and use a flashlight to check his or her throat. If you find a bone stuck in your throat you need to calmly use a medical forceps to remove the bone. In the process of handling, parents need to be gentle and reassuring so that the baby does not move, which can damage the throat area.

- Step 3: Give the child a few times to drink water. If the baby drinks with no signs of pain, the bone is gone. Older children can ask if they are still in pain after giving a drink.

- Step 4: In the event that if the fishbone is not found in the throat and the baby still shows signs of pain and crying, the family should take the baby to the hospital for the doctor to handle promptly, as it may The bones have gone down into the esophagus and you cannot see them.
