I believe that many people have this experience, eating eggs is always choking, so many people are very careful when eating eggs, so why is it easy to choke when eating eggs? How to rescue when choking?
What to do if you choke on an egg
Generally speaking, when you choke on an egg, you can drink water with a small mouth, so that the food stuck in the esophagus has a buffer space and lubricates the esophagus. Drinking water can increase the concentration of water in the egg, making the yolk thin, and the adhesion in the yolk will also be reduced. At this time, it will fall from the choking esophagus, which can solve the choking symptoms well.
Choking how to rescue
In case of serious choking, how to give first aid:
1. If it's under three
The rescuer shall immediately hold the child up, hold the two sides of the child's cheekbones with one hand, put the arm against the child's chest, and hold the child's back neck with the other hand, face down, and lie on the rescuer's knee. Pat the child on the back 1-5 times, and observe whether the child spits out foreign matters.
2. If the foreign matters do not come out during the above operations
You can take another position, turn the child over, lie on the hard ground or bed board, the rescuer kneels down or stands on the side of his feet, or take the seat, and make the child ride on the rescuer's thigh, face forward. The rescuer put the middle or index fingers of both hands on the abdomen under the thorax and on the umbilicus of the child, and then hit and press the child up quickly, but gently. Repeat until the foreign material is removed.
3. For emergency adults
The rescuer stands at the back of the patient, encircles the patient's waist with two arms, and then clenches his fist with one hand, placing the thumb side of his fist on the abdomen of the patient's chest under the river navel. Then grab the fist with the other hand and hit the patient's abdomen up quickly. Repeat until the foreign body is discharged.
Why do you choke easily when eating eggs
The key to choking easily is the yolk in the egg. When the yolk is put into the esophagus of the human body, because the yolk itself has good water absorption, it will quickly absorb the saliva and water in the esophagus, which leads to the rapid expansion of the yolk, which can not get stuck in the esophagus, then choking occurs.
Of course, people who are stuck in eating eggs usually don't chew the eggs very well in the process of eating eggs. They can eat up an egg with one or two bites. The fat particles wrapped by emulsifier in the yolk is a kind of material that can easily absorb water. The soft and moist appearance of the yolk makes us not chew the yolk carefully every time we eat it, and swallow it in a hurry before a large amount of saliva is secreted. Therefore, if you eat eggs, chew them slowly with a small mouth, and then add some hot soup and hot drinks, you will not be choked on the esophagus in general.
