Many people know that infants and young children have narrow respiratory and esophageal tracts, and if they accidentally consume too much food, they are prone to choking and suffocation, which is not conducive to their physical health. So parents should pay attention to the diet of infants and young children in daily life, and encourage them to eat less large, nucleated foods. However, what should infants and young children do if they eat cherry kernels?
If a baby swallows a cherry kernel without choking themselves and there are no other abnormal conditions, parents don't have to worry. Because cherry kernels are difficult to chew and digest, they are usually excreted with feces. However, if infants and young children get stuck in the throat by a cherry kernel, parents can ask them to drink water and try swallowing the cherry kernel. But if this is not successful, induce vomiting.
When cherry kernels enter the trachea of infants and young children, they should be immediately lifted upside down and then vigorously slapped on their back to facilitate the expulsion of foreign objects from the infant's trachea. If the cherry nucleus in the throat of infants and young children cannot be expelled, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment to avoid their lives being in danger.
Cherry kernels are toxic, and if infants and young children accidentally consume them, it may cause the decomposition of cherry kernels to produce toxic hydrogen cyanide, leading to food poisoning that is not conducive to their health. Therefore, it is best for parents not to let them eat cherry kernels in their daily lives. In addition to cherry kernels, parents should not let them consume apple kernels or ginkgo fruits to avoid the risk of suffocation or food poisoning.
