Patient's question:
The child was drinking medicine when he cried hard, so I poured the medicine into his mouth. Unexpectedly, the child choked several times and barely caught his breath. What kind of help is needed: The child is doing well now, but I'm afraid he might have choked on his trachea.Doctor's answer:
Your behavior is first wrong. Human breathing and the action of swallowing dryly cannot be implemented simultaneously. When a child is crying and screaming, it is not possible to force them to take pills.Advice: This coughing is the body's self-protection mechanism, the result of the epiglottis cartilage locking in time. Therefore, it is generally unlikely to have any aftereffects. If an object enters the trachea, the child will experience severe pain, especially feeling as if there is an object in the respiratory tract, leading to continuous crying.
The above is the advice for the question "Is it a problem if a child chokes while taking medicine?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
