Symptoms of choking the trachea due to vomiting milk

Many babies spit up a large amount of milk, which is suddenly inhaled into the trachea, causing coughing or even vomiting. Parents need to hold their children upright and pat them in time, and try to control their crying, because frequent and excessive crying will aggravate the spitting up and may also cause the risk of suffocation.

1 What are the symptoms of a newborn spitting up milk and choking on the trachea? If a foreign body enters the trachea of ​​a newborn, due to the protective reflex, there will be obvious choking and coughing. If the foreign body is not expelled from the body, there will be an irritating dry cough. Some babies will also be irritable and cry, have difficulty breathing, have red faces and ears, and have symptoms such as shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Foreign bodies may also cause local infection, inflammation, fever, etc.

What are the symptoms of a baby choking on the trachea and how can parents identify them in time? 2 Reasons why newborns spit up milk and choke on their trachea 1. Newborns have a bad posture when drinking milk, which causes milk to directly enter the respiratory tract. 2. The stomach capacity of the newborn is too small, or the esophagus and pleural sphincter are immature and cannot be closed tightly, causing milk to flow back into the esophagus (vomiting). If the baby is inhaling at this time, it will cause choking. 3. The hole in the nipple is too large, the baby does not have time to swallow, and the excess milk enters the trachea. 3 How to judge whether the newborn baby’s vomiting and choking has entered the trachea 1. Parents can observe the child’s reaction. If there is no persistent choking and coughing, the baby’s symptoms will improve after a while, the face will be rosy, the breathing will be smooth, the spirit and appetite will be good, indicating that the condition has stabilized and has not entered the airway.

5. Precautions for newborns who spit up milk and choke on their trachea. Foreign objects in the newborn's trachea are very dangerous. In severe cases, it can cause the baby to suffocate and die. Therefore, prevention is the most important: 1. Educate your baby not to put things they pick up into their mouths at will to avoid accidental inhalation into the trachea. 2. Do not let your baby cry, laugh, fight or talk while eating to prevent food from choking into the trachea. 3.
