Question
Back pain, curled toes, and finger spasms. Developed back pain on the third day after cesarean section. Previous treatment and outcomes: The doctor reminded to avoid choking on milk but did not take effective measures. What kind of assistance is needed? How to treat and what are the causes of the condition?
Answer
If a baby chokes on milk, immediately tilt the baby’s head to one side, clear the milk from the mouth and nose, perform artificial respiration to maintain unobstructed breathing. If the first aid is ineffective, the baby should be taken to the hospital immediately. For infants who often spit up milk, strengthen observation, appropriately elevate the head of the bed, gently pat the back after feeding, and regularly monitor the baby’s breathing and sleep position. The mother should avoid blocking the baby’s mouth and nose with the nipple to prevent respiratory difficulties. Once a baby chokes on milk, immediate first aid should be administered, quickly clearing the airway and performing appropriate blowing actions to relieve cerebral hypoxia. If the baby stops breathing or turns blue, place the baby on their stomach and strike the back firmly to prompt coughing. If this is still ineffective, immediate medical attention is required. With minor spitting up or vomiting, the baby will adjust their breathing and swallowing reflexes without inhaling into the trachea. In case of excessive vomiting, quickly tilt the baby’s face to one side, clear the mouth and nose, and perform the aforementioned first aid measures. If a baby chokes on milk but breathing becomes smooth again, still observe their crying sound and breathing movements to confirm there are no abnormalities. If the baby’s cry is loud and their face color is normal
