Today’s health tips: If you have infants toddlers or small kids, keep sharp objects broken toys, betel nuts, or any small objects away from them, always try to keep eye on them, accidental intake of these objects can lead to severe respiratory distress because of the obstruction of the laryngeal inlet. Never ever try to remove it with your finger from his or her mouth, it could be disastrous. Simply make the kid upside down and tap on back, secondly squeeze the abdomen with jerks, we call it heimlich’s maneuver, this is a life saving step, do this till ambulance is reached to you.
