Question

My baby is 23 months old and choked on a milk pad today. His face and mouth turned blue, so I quickly patted his back, and he vomited some of it out. He cried for a long time before gradually recovering. He seems normal now, but he occasionally chokes on food when eating. Should I take him to the hospital for a detailed examination?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby correctly handled the situation by expelling the foreign object when he choked on a solid item. If the baby shows no signs of distress after vomiting, there is no need to rush to the hospital for a detailed examination. It is recommended that you continue to observe for a few days, and if the baby exhibits any discomfort or abnormal symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish your baby good health!
