One Senior Citizen of 62 years of age admitted to hospital for Choking in his Lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm on September 2...
He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and died unfortunately at 3 am on September 3 at the age of 62..
His sudden death tells our Classmates, Colleagues, Relatives, and Friends in this age group that no matter what we do,
*we must pay attention to two things,*
*.. one is to Prevent Falling*,
*.. and the other is to Prevent Choking*.
1. After turning 60, we have to begin to train ourselves.
When drinking water -
Stop everything and concentrate on drinking water carefully and slowly.
2. *The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength*.
3. The following is information passed on to us by a doctor who is still active in the medical field. It is worth referencing, especially if you or your relatives or friends are elderly:
from pneumonia caused by choking on drinking water (milk, soup, etc.), which is a common problem among the elderly..
If there are elderly people at home,
Please Note:
1. Use a straw if possible while drinking water and keep your head down when swallowing..
2. Please drink thick soup instead of thin soup. Clear soup flows quickly and it is easy to choke when breathing is not smooth..
3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth, and do not drink 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..
4. Do not speak or turn your head when there is food or water in your mouth..
5. Elderly people do not have the same physical strength and endurance as young people..
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*.
*As you get older*, *you must drink water slowly,* *attentively,*
*and cautiously*.
*Friends, take care of yourselves*..
*Simple tips for us friends, keep it in mind and follow them for our safety* 👍
