Question
What should I do if my seven-month-old baby chokes while eating formula milk at night?
Answer
This is often due to the baby choking on milk. Generally, after feeding, it’s advisable to hold the baby upright for a while before placing them to sleep flat. The milk in the nose usually doesn’t cause a big problem; it can flow out of the nostrils, and the milk in the nasopharynx can reflux into the mouth or throat. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of your local doctor.
