Patient's question:
A child of one of my neighbors, a three-year-old, put the seeds of pomegranate into their nostril. If it is possible to spit out the seeds by themselves, can they eat pomegranate?Doctor's answer:
It's not a big deal to eat it, there's no need to worry, but avoid swallowing pomegranate seeds when eating. It's essential to be cautious when a child eats to prevent them from entering the airway. This is because a child's throat development is still not fully mature, making them prone to choking when eating. Please pay attention to this. The seeds of many fruits can be eaten and are also nutritious. For example, everyone knows that grape seeds are very good, with strong antioxidant properties and the ability to delay aging. However, no matter how good something is, it's best to eat it in moderation. Too much is not beneficial.
