Patient's question:
My baby is one and three months old and just started eating peanuts when she accidentally choked. She can't cough it up and seems uncomfortable somewhere in her throat. What should I do? She cried a little while 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 holding their breath or even difficulty breathing. If you are currently asking a network doctor while by the computer, then the child has definitely swallowed the peanut into their stomach, so don't worry. Children under the age of 3 should avoid eating small beans, peanuts, and similar foods to prevent any further danger. I hope this helps you!
