What should I do if I choke on peanuts?

Patient's question:

My baby is one and three months old. When she just started eating peanuts, she accidentally choked. She can't vomit and seems uncomfortable somewhere in her throat. What should I do? She started crying when eating peanuts and then choked. No, is there any way to help the baby cough the thing out?

Doctor's answer:

When a child coughs, they may swallow a peanut into their stomach. If it gets into the trachea now, it can become very serious within a short time, such as shortness of breath or even difficulty breathing. If you are currently asking a network doctor while near the computer, then the child has definitely swallowed the peanut into their stomach, so there is no need to worry. Children under the age of three should avoid foods like small beans and peanuts to prevent any further danger. I hope this helps!
