Everyone cannot do without water, and needs to drink water every day. However, it is easy to choke when drinking water accidentally, especially for babies, whose swallowing ability is not as good as adults. Parents are very worried that choking on water may harm the baby's health. So, will babies have problems choking on water? Below is the relevant introduction.
In general, if the amount of water choked by a baby is not large, it usually does not cause harm. However, parents should make the baby lie on their lap or bed after choking, and then pat the baby's back to make the baby cough out. This usually does not have a significant impact on the baby's body.
When a baby coughs after choking on water, it is easy to cause vomiting. If a baby vomits, parents should immediately turn their baby's face to one side to avoid the vomit flowing backwards into the baby's throat and trachea, causing difficulty breathing. Then clean the baby's nasal cavity and oral cavity of vomit, which can prevent the baby from experiencing respiratory obstruction.
If a baby chokes on a large amount of water, it may cause airway blockage, which can result in the baby being unable to breathe or directly inhaling into the lungs, leading to aspiration pneumonia. At this time, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, otherwise it will cause great harm to the baby's health, and even lead to the baby's suffocation and death.
