If liquid or food enters the trachea and is coughed out, the face will turn red and the blood pressure will soar. Sometimes choking can be fatal.
A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:
1. Use a straw, if possible, while drinking water, and keep your head down when swallowing.
As we get older, we must drink water slowly, attentively, and cautiously.
3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful.
