The child may also have a blocked windpipe from having an allergic reaction to food. Young children often swallow various objects and because chocking leads to an insufficient amount of air into the brain, and first aid needs to be administered quickly (Nelson, 2002).
A list of items that should be present includes:
•Hand sanitizer so that one can be able to clean their hands when water or soap is not available.
•Triple-Antibiotic ointment so that there can be the prevention of infection.
•Thermometer.
•Acetaminophen for the pain or fever.
•Oral antihistamine for allergic reactions.
•Instant cold press in order to control the swelling.
•Calamine lotion to help with the bites or stings.
Procedure:
1. Assessing the situation: when a child is unable to breathe, cry or laugh, then there is something that is defiantly wrong with the child.
2. If the child is coughing, it means that the child’s windpipe is only partially blocked. When that is the case, the child should be led to continue coughing. This is the most effective method of unblocking the windpipe and in particular to anyone who is not fully blocked (Nelson, 2002).
3. Ask another individual to call the emergency number such as 911 while giving the child back blows and chest thrusts.
