Every year, hospitals receive many cases of children accidentally ingesting foreign objects and getting stuck in their throats. Among them, young babies under 3 years old are at high risk! These foreign objects are often small parts that have fallen off toys
What to do if a toy is stuck in the throat
Once you find that your baby is stuck in a toy, the first thing to do is to try home first aid and try to time. For children with foreign objects stuck in their throats, the time and method of rescuing them are crucial, and it can be said that every second is used. So what are the first aid emergency measures?
The golden time for rescue should be controlled at 4 to 6 minutes. Place the baby face down on the adult's lap, and pat the baby's back about five or six times. If the foreign object does not come out, then remove the baby. Turn the child over face up, place it on your lap, and press the child's lower chest repeatedly with your index and middle fingers. Be careful not to use too much force.
The above two actions can be performed alternately. After about 3 minutes, if the foreign body has not been discharged, you should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately. You can continue tapping while riding in the car to avoid foreign objects blocking the airway opening. Some foreign objects may also fall out of the body during the tapping process.
