Many children may experience choking after drinking milk, some of which can be harmful to their health, while others may experience nasal congestion. Children with nasal congestion can experience difficulty breathing and even suffocation. So, what should I do if my child experiences nasal congestion after choking on milk?
1. After a child choked on milk, the nasal congestion should be cleaned up in a timely manner. The milk in the child's nostrils, especially the milk in the child's mouth, should be quickly wrapped in a handkerchief by the mother's fingers and gently inserted into the child's mouth to quickly clean the residual milk in the child's mouth, so that the child's respiratory tract can be smooth.
2. If a child experiences nasal congestion after choking on milk, the mother can pat the child's back to make them lie on their knees, and then use some strength to pat the child's back to make them cough up milk. In the future, besides mastering the correct feeding posture, mothers should also pat their children's backs after each feeding to reduce choking.
3. Observing the child's expression, if the child has difficulty breathing due to nasal congestion, the skin around the mouth and nose will change color and turn blue. At this time, the mother should clean up the foreign objects in the child's nasal cavity to ensure smooth breathing. If the baby has severe nasal congestion, the mother should take the child for medical treatment and treatment as soon as possible to avoid endangering the child's health.
