I don’t know if you have noticed that many babbling children like to put things in their mouths, as if they want to open the door to a new world with their mouths.
In fact, children naturally like to explore the world with their mouths, but at the same time, children are at risk of swallowing foreign objects.
Recently, Ms. Zhang’s daughter, who lives in Guangzhou, accidentally let her 1-year-old daughter put a small part of a toy into her mouth when she was playing with a toy. Seeing that her daughter was about to swallow the small part, Ms. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and planned to dig out the toy with her hands.
But what worried Ms. Zhang was that no matter what she said, her daughter was unwilling to open her mouth. In desperation, Ms. Zhang planned to use the mouth-to-mouth method, that is, Ms. Zhang used her own mouth to suck out the toy parts from her daughter's mouth. , thus preventing the daughter from accidentally eating the parts. But who knew that Ms. Zhang used too much force when sucking the parts for her daughter, and the toy "jumped" into Ms. Zhang's trachea, almost causing suffocation.
On the day of the incident, Ms. Zhang was watching TV at home, and her 1-year-old daughter Tongtong was playing with a doll. At this time, Tongtong picked up a toy part and stuffed it into her mouth! Ms. Zhang rushed over and found that the toy was stuck at the entrance of her daughter's throat. In a panic, Ms. Zhang immediately planned to inhale forcefully from mouth to mouth, trying to suck the toy out of her daughter's mouth.
Due to excessive force, the moment Ms. Zhang sucked out the toy, the toy followed the airflow and entered Ms. Zhang's airway. Ms. Zhang was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Half an hour later, the accidentally inhaled toy parts were taken out. Since then, Ms. Zhang has stopped giving small things to her daughter to play with. After all, the near miss really frightened Ms. Zhang.
There is another similar news about a little boy in Shandong who accidentally swallowed caustic soda and almost lost his life. First of all, let me popularize the common sense about caustic soda. The scientific name of caustic soda is sodium hydroxide. It is a highly corrosive flake or block. When it is dissolved in water, it will turn into an alkaline solution when heated. . In this way, the little boy in Shandong who accidentally ingested caustic soda can really be said to have "escaped death"!
In fact, due to the active nature of children, similar problems will inevitably occur. So, how should parents prevent their children from accidents caused by swallowing?
1. Accidental swallowing of corrosive foreign objects
Many parents will choose to induce vomiting when their children swallow something by mistake, but if the child swallows corrosive foreign objects by mistake, this method must not be used.
Because if a child eats this kind of thing by mistake, it will cause harm to the stomach. If you force vomiting again, it will only harm the child again.
Therefore, after children swallow alkaline corrosives by mistake, they should eat acidic things such as vinegar; otherwise, give them alkaline water such as raw egg whites. Afterwards, the child must be sent to the hospital promptly.
2. Accidental swallowing of foreign objects
Accidental swallowing of foreign objects is divided into sharp objects and smooth and edgeless objects. If your child accidentally swallows a sharp object, he must be sent to the hospital promptly.
If the child swallows something with a smooth and edgeless surface and reaches the stomach, parents should feed the child as much fiber-rich foods as possible, such as leeks, celery, etc., and watch the baby after defecation Check to see if the foreign body has been excreted from the body. If it has not been expelled within three days, parents must take their children to the hospital for examination.
3. Taking medicine by mistake
Some babies take medicine accidentally. At this time, parents should not be anxious. Instead, they should judge what medicine the child is taking, and remember the time and amount of taking it. Can provide assistance to doctors in diagnosis and treatment.
If you already know the medicine your baby is taking and know that the medicine will not cause major harm to the human body, you can let your baby drink some milk to reduce the potency of the medicine.
4. Ingestion of desiccant
Generally, our common food desiccants are roughly divided into 4 types: silica gel desiccant , quicklime desiccant, calcium chloride desiccant and ferric oxide desiccant. Silica gel desiccant generally does not cause harm to the baby's stomach and intestines, and it will be excreted from the body with the stool. However, the baby may experience symptoms such as dizziness after accidentally eating it.
Quicklime desiccant is very corrosive. If the baby accidentally eats it, parents should immediately give the child some raw egg white to dilute the alkaline. Calcium chloride desiccant is also less harmful to the body. Generally, just drink more water to dilute it. Finally, parents do not need to worry too much if their child accidentally takes ferric oxide desiccant and the amount is relatively small. However, if the child develops symptoms such as abdominal pain, parents must send their child to the hospital as soon as possible.
5. Burns and scalds
When it comes to children being burned and scalded, they are generally divided into three types. The first type is minor burns. At this time, parents can use cold water to partially rinse the child for about 10 to 20 minutes.
The second situation is a more serious burn. Usually, pustules or skin lacerations will appear on the surface. At this time, parents must avoid washing the pustules with water or break the skin of the pustules. Instead, they should use a warm towel or ice pack. Local cooling, etc.
Finally, it is a burn caused by chemicals. If this happens, parents should not rinse the wound with cold water or apply toothpaste or other soft pastes to the wound. Instead, they should pay attention to keeping the wound warm and send the child to the hospital in time.
6. Fracture
Some children are naughty and always fall down inadvertently. If a child has unbearable pain after a fall, or has obvious swelling or deformity, it can generally be determined to be a fracture.
Under normal circumstances, if a child has a fracture and is accompanied by bleeding, the bleeding should be stopped first, then a clean bandage should be used to wrap the wound, and finally something should be found to fix the fracture and the child should be sent to the hospital for treatment.
I don’t know if your child has ever eaten other things by mistake, or if you have mastered the above emergency rescue methods? Finally, I sincerely hope that your child can grow up safely and healthily. #Children aged 0-6 years old parenting experience##Qingfeng plan#
