We see from the internet that many children put cotton balls or peanut beans and some foreign bodies into the nasal cavity and ear canal, and some even get sucked into the trachea, which is very dangerous for young children and even affects their lives.
Therefore, parents must have this awareness of prevention and have certain knowledge of first aid, otherwise you may be at a loss at the last moment or even delay the golden moment of rescue.
How to prevent children from putting these foreign objects into their noses or mouths?
First, tell them clearly that this is a dangerous move.
Children may be interested in various organs of the body when they are young, and curiosity will make them move around. At this time, parents should popularize some physiological knowledge to them and tell them not to stuff things into their nostrils casually, nor to stuff things into their ears or eyes, which is harmful to their health.
Second, don't do dangerous actions in front of children.
The reason why children love to pick their nostrils and ears is because they are exposed to it and see their parents do so. Some parents, in particular, like to pick their ears with cotton swabs. Children naturally find it fun. Otherwise, how could parents do this? Therefore, they will also scratch their ears with cotton swabs, which is likely to cause the risk of perforation of the eardrum. Therefore, adults must be cautious in doing things and don't set a bad example for children.
Third, buy some picture books on safety education for children and study with them.
Through the study of picture books, let children know how to stay away from danger and ensure their own physical safety, whether on the road or by the pond, especially at home.
Fourth, dangerous things at home should be put out of the reach of children.
There are many things that children can't touch at home, such as pills and disinfectants. These things must be kept out of children's reach, preferably in a bottle with a lid.
Of course, even the best preventive measures may not prevent these naughty and active children from rummaging through the closet. When they eat pills by mistake or have foreign bodies in their bodies, everyone must learn some simple methods of self-help and identification.
First, be alert to some abnormal phenomena in children.
If the child has a stuffy nose and no cold symptoms, parents must pay attention. It's possible that they have something stuffed in their noses.
The child suddenly coughed violently after eating, which may be something in the trachea. When the child has been picking his ear, such as itching, it means that something has entered the ear canal. At this time, never take it yourself. Better take him to the hospital. And if the little girl has leucorrhea on her underwear and the skin of her lower body itches, it may be that there is a foreign body in her lower body.
Second, parents must learn simple first aid knowledge.
If a child has a foreign body in the trachea, such as peanuts or other small things, children under the age of three should be urged to pat their backs. The baby's trachea is full of things, which may lead to the danger of suffocation. At this time, put their heads down on their knees, hold their chests up, and then pat their backs with the other palm.
Children over the age of three can be allowed to stand or sit, and then adults can stand behind him, hold the baby with their fists clenched, put their thumbs inward on the baby's navel, and then suddenly squeeze up hard and rhythmically. In addition, you can also use the method of vomiting, put your finger on the baby's throat to stimulate the root of the tongue, so as to spit out the foreign body.
Children need careful care from their parents when they grow up. An oversight can have very serious consequences. When you have a certain knowledge of first aid, you won't panic and let your child miss the chance of rescue.
