Suzhou 10 month old baby ate half a peanut, why did his lips turn purple?

Infants and young children are still young, and their swallowing and digestive functions are not perfect, so when taking care of children, we must pay special attention to what to feed them. I learned that a baby who just turned 10 months old in Suqian recently almost lost his life because he accidentally ate half a peanut!

1On the morning of August 4th, 10-month-old baby Lele (a pseudonym) stayed at home with her grandmother. Because Lele has been crying, grandma handed him half a peanut to get his attention. Unexpectedly, after eating this half peanut, Lele cried even more.

"I was tired after crying for a while and then fell asleep. I came home from work 1 1: 30 before he woke up. " Lele's mother, Ms. Zhang, said that when Lele came home, her grandmother told her about it, but it was normal for children to cry, and we didn't care too much.

After waking up, Lele was just in a bad mood at first. By about 3 pm that day, his condition was obviously wrong. "My lips are purple, and many places on my body are blue." Speaking of the situation at that time, Ms. Zhang was still very scared, and her family sent her child to the hospital urgently. After a day in the intensive care unit, the baby's condition stabilized. "The doctor said that if it was an hour and a half late, it would be completely uncertain."

"Peanuts slipped directly into one side of the bronchus. If peanuts are bigger and stuck in the main bronchus, they will be blue and purple on the spot, and it will be difficult to breathe and life-threatening. " Cao Lei, deputy chief physician of Pediatrics Department of Suqian First People's Hospital, said that airway foreign body obstruction is a common accidental emergency for children and one of the main causes of death for children under 3 years old. Therefore, parents had better not feed their children solid food in infancy.
