Emergency treatment when baby throws up milk

Because the opening of the esophagus and the opening of the trachea are connected in the throat, it is most feared when spitting milk. That is, when the milk is suddenly reversed from the esophagus to the throat, it is just inhale and enters the trachea, the so-called breast milk.

When the volume is large, it will cause blockage of the trachea, and breathing will not proceed. Immediately oxygen will endanger life. When the amount is small, it can be directly inhaled into the lungs to cause aspiration pneumonia.

A slight spill and spit, usually the baby himself will adapt to the breathing and swallowing movements. Therefore, compared with the risk of not inhaling the trachea, parents only need to closely observe his breathing and skin color.

If your baby has a lot of vomiting, please follow the instructions below:

1. If vomiting occurs when lying on one side: Quickly move your baby's face sideways so that it does not flow back into the throat and trachea due to gravity.

2. With a handkerchief or a towel roll on your fingertips in the entrance cavity or even on the throat, remove spit and spilled milk foods roughly and quickly to keep the respiratory tract smooth and prevent breathing. At this point, clearing the oral cavity is more important than nasal cavity! Therefore, always arrange small handkerchiefs and small towels at any time to prepare for the occasional needs (nostrils can be cleaned with small cotton swabs).

3. If the baby does not breathe or darkens his face when he taps his back, it means that the spit may have entered the trachea and immediately lie prone on an adult's lap or on a bed (rigid bed) and pat the back four or five times. It can cough up.

4. If the steps are done, if the steps are done, but the baby is still not responding, it immediately stimulates the sole plate (or clamp or pinch) so that the baby can breathe through the pain. At this time, the most important thing is to let the baby Aspirated, oxygen can enter the lungs to prevent hypoxia. At the time of suffocation and lifesaving, the most important thing is to fight for time to send air (oxygen) into the lungs, rather than trying to get rid of foreign bodies with time. This concept is very important.

In the above process, the baby should be transferred to the hospital or clinic at the same time, so that the professional pediatrician can do further processing or inspection to be completely assured.

If the baby breaths very smoothly after breastfeeding, it is best to think of a way to make him cry again (we cry is a lot of breathing) to observe the baby's inspiratory and expiratory movements during crying and see if there are any abnormalities (such as sound changes Weakness, difficulty in breathing, serious embossed chest, etc.), if any, immediately seek medical advice. If the baby cries loudly, full of energy, and looks ruddy, it means there is nothing wrong with it and you can watch it for a while. Sometimes chest X-rays are also necessary.
