Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is one and a half months old. Today, while eating milk powder, he got choked and his face and lips turned blue. I kept patting his back and he coughed up some of it. He cried for a while before finally calming down. It looks normal now, but he loves choking when eating. Should we go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if the child chokes on a hard object, immediately hold the child upside down and stand them up straight while patting their back to help them cough up the object. If the object is coughed up and the child appears normal, there is no need for a thorough medical examination at the hospital. It is recommended that you continue to monitor the child closely for a few more days, and seek medical attention if any discomfort occurs. This is the advice for the question "Doctor, my baby is one and a half months old and choked on milk powder today, what should I do?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
