After choking, it is easier to get otitis media because after choking, milk flows more easily from the Eustachian tube to the middle ear and causes inflammation.
After choking, if the milk flows out of the mouth or nose and down the cheeks to the ear canal and is not cleaned up in time, it may cause inflammation of the outer ear canal, resulting in otitis media. At the same time, after choking, if the milk does not flow out of the nose or mouth, but flows down the Eustachian tube to the baby’s middle ear cavity, may also cause otitis media, so after choking is possible to get otitis media.
It is recommended that the patient’s mouth and nasal cavity be cleaned first after choking to avoid inflammation caused by prolonged retention of milk. At the same time, attention should be paid to the posture of drinking milk in daily life, and attention should be paid to patting the back and hiccuping after feeding, which can easily lead to choking if the posture is not good.
