Babies are young and may accidentally choke while eating. If they only occasionally choke, it is generally not a big problem. However, if babies always choke while eating, it may be a physical problem. Parents need to pay attention. So, what is the reason for babies always choking while eating?
Under normal circumstances, there are sensory nerve endings in the throat area of a person. When food enters the throat during eating or drinking, the sensory nerve endings will send signals, which will be transmitted to the central nervous system. The central nervous system will then issue instructions to swallow the food, including pushing the tongue root backwards and pushing the epiglottis cartilage downwards. This is like putting a lid on top, blocking the upper part of the throat area, retracting the blocks on both sides inward, and closing the glottis. Through the perfect coordination of sensory nerve endings and motor nerves, the swallowing action is complete, so that food and water will not choke the trachea of a person.
If there are problems with a person's nerve endings, or if the activity of the tongue base or epiglottis is adversely affected, or if there are problems with vocal cord activity, such as unilateral or bilateral paralysis of the vocal cords, it is possible for food to be choked into the trachea.
If the baby always gets choked while eating, it is best for parents to take the baby to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to see if there are any problems or diseases, and seek timely treatment to avoid danger.
