I had given Ted a piece of a baby raw carrot as I always do. He chewed it into tiny pieces as he does, and those were on the floor when I heard him choke, I picked him up, stuck my finger in his mouth and swooped out a piece of carrot, and the episode was over.
I'm assuming that when he choked he inhaled some of the other little pieces that he had chewed up in his mouth and it must have lodged back
there and then the tissue has wrapped around it and inflammed.
I will be paranoid to give him anything. I believe it could have happened whether it was a carrot or a doggie milkbone. You know how they much it up into little pieces. He just happened to choke this time. I never ever thought that when they choke there could still be something that went in.
But come to think of it i have many a times had drink or food go down wrong whole and it starts coming out your nose. know what I'm trying to say? It just got stuck and didn't travel down throat or up nasal completely. |
