Question
Will baby’s choking on water during bathing lead to pneumonia?
Answer
If a baby accidentally chokes on water during bathing and doesn’t cough after gasping, it means the water hasn’t entered the airway, so the likelihood of developing pneumonia is low, but it’s important to pay attention to whether the child has a fever or other symptoms. It is recommended that parents pay special attention to safety when bathing their children and closely observe them to prevent accidents. If the child has symptoms such as choking cough or difficulty breathing, they should be taken to a doctor immediately.
