Health Tip: Choking Hazards for Children
By LadyLively on March 5, 2019
Every five days in the United States, at least one child dies from choking on food.
More than 10,000 children are hospitalized due to food-choking injuries each year. However, these injuries and deaths are preventable, the New York State Department of Health says.
The department suggests:
- Always supervise small children while eating.
- Do not allow children to play or lay down while eating.
- Cut foods into small pieces.
- Don’t rush children to finish eating.
- Become familiar with child CPR.
