Question
Why do elderly people suddenly choke while eating and vomit, and what are the causes and solutions?
Answer
This situation is often seen in the elderly, who may experience weakened control over the esophagus and trachea due to aging, making fast eating or insufficient chewing more likely to cause choking. It is recommended to adopt a diet of smaller, more frequent meals, chew thoroughly, and increase the intake of liquid foods appropriately to reduce the risk of choking.
