What to do if something is stuck in your throat

I don't know if you have noticed that if something gets stuck in your throat while you are eating, you will be at a loss in a hurry. It is uncomfortable, and you don't know how to deal with it. You dare not take out the thing stuck in your throat casually, so you can only go to the hospital for the doctor's help. So before you have time to go to the hospital for treatment, isn't it better to understand it, so as to prevent yourself from getting it out when something gets stuck in your throat.

So don't underestimate this as a minor problem. It is actually a big problem for many people. Especially for people with poor physical fitness and timidity. When something gets stuck in the throat, they will be frightened and panic. Some people think that they can use some folk methods told by friends to remove the things stuck in the throat. Be careful not to do it properly, otherwise it will be troublesome.

If a child is stuck, pick him up immediately and place him upside down between your knees. Make sure he lies prone and pat the area between his shoulder blades with your palm. Be careful to control the strength and pat continuously until he spits out the stuck object.

If you feel difficulty breathing, immediately find a high place and lie face down, stretch your head out and lower it vertically with force. Then the food will usually come out naturally. If there is no place to lie down, try to lower your head to your chest and cough hard. If the stuck food is too large, we will usually suffocate within a few minutes, so we must seize every second to seize the opportunity to save ourselves.

If a fish bone is stuck in your tongue, do not swallow it. Instead, press down your tongue with chopsticks and remove it with tweezers. If the fish bone is large, penetrates deep, and there is bleeding, seek medical attention in time.

Therefore, when eating, eating too much is likely to cause food to get stuck in the throat. It may be easier for adults, but it may not be so easy for a child to get food stuck in the throat. Therefore, adults must pay attention to children when they eat, and make sure they swallow slowly. Don't let children eat too big a mouthful of food.
