What to do if you choke on your trachea while drinking water

Normally, when drinking water, you may accidentally choke. At this time, the water may choke the trachea, causing people to cough continuously. Coughing is a conditioned reflex physiological reaction of the human body. It is to cough out the water and foreign bodies in the trachea. At this time, when the coughing occurs, you should gently pat your back, so that the water in the trachea can be coughed out smoothly.

What to do if you choke on your trachea while drinking water

The main reason for choking is drinking water too quickly. The throat is an important channel for food and air to come into contact. If the trachea is blocked, you will keep coughing. You should lower your head and slowly touch your back to allow the water in the trachea to flow down. You should concentrate when eating. It is easy to choke if you talk while eating, so you should eat slowly and chew thoroughly to ensure full absorption of nutrients. Generally, eating too fast will cause weight gain, so you should pay attention to the correct eating method.

Choking food into the trachea means, in medical terms, that there is a foreign body in the bronchus that needs to be dealt with. First of all, you need to feel carefully to see if there are still rice grains in your stomach. If there are still some, you can remove them surgically. If there are no rice grains, then this uncomfortable condition will recover in one to two days. If you want to know the specific situation, you need to go to the hospital for treatment. Through bronchoscopy, you can clearly know the current condition of the bronchi, whether there is inflammation due to choking on rice grains, etc., to avoid the situation from worsening and causing sequelae.

What should I do if I choke on my trachea while eating in the morning?

Don't be nervous. I wouldn't try to flush it out by drinking water. If it's in the trachea, it won't be able to be flushed out, and it will be more difficult to get it out. You can cough hard, and if that doesn't work, try blowing your nose to see if you can get it out. If you still can't speak, wash your hands, put them on the root of your tongue and press gently to see if you can spit it out. You can also find someone to hug you from behind, put his hands on your stomach, and squeeze your back hard, then keep squeezing in a rhythm to see if you can use the airflow to rush out. If you can't do all of these and feel very uncomfortable, go to the hospital immediately.
