Useful tip

Have u been so carelessly swallow a fish bone? I think most of the people did. So what was u did the next? Swallowed a mouthful of sticky plain rice? Or ate bunch of bread? Or drank gallons of water? That is so many ways u can try, but none of one is correct.

I have just encountered this yesterday evening, err… not me, it is my 20 months old son. He accidentally swallowed a fish bone (bad mummy felt so guilty leh… I gave him fish and vege soup with rice for dinner, so what else except the fish bone can choke him badly?). At that moment I was so panic do not know what to do, but I have to act calmly for not frighten my son. Then I make an overseas call to my sister in JB, who married a cardiologist *don’t care liao, cardiologist or paediatrician or E.N.T, call a doctor’s wife first, and being a doctor’s wife should have enough medical knowledge than us mah (‘gao jia’ liao kua :p). Unfortunately my sister also “mo-u gai” and ask me try to give my boy eat some plain rice, hope the rice can bring down the bone. Ok loh then I also try loh, and its work!! My boy ate a lot of plain rice after that…. Me relief loh.. hehehe… ok belum habis lagi…..

Today afternoon, my sis rang me again to check on the condition of my boy. She said her hubby also no idea what to do when choke by fish bone (cardio mah not E.N.T... ok loh can forgive). Moreover, what is surprised us, her SON knew it! A standard two student knew the correct way to do when this thing happen. He show my sister the exercise book, with the explanation and everything. WOW!!!

Ok let me tell u what to do when u encounter this problem.

Step 1:
Contain an appropriate amount of vinegar in your mouth, but don’t drink it. Swallow it slowly.
*have to be very slow, this is to allow the vinegar to react on the fish bone and soften it.

Step 2:
Follow by eating something, ex. Plain rice or bread.
*if we try to flush the fish bone down without soften it, the 'hard' fish bone might injure or maybe worst; stab into our throat.

Therefore, for who love to eat fish, don’t forget to keep some vinegar at home… u might need it one day. (touch wood to say so :pdpdpd)

Ok here is the big-big question:

DO I NEED TO GO BACK TO PRIMARY SCHOOL???

*hehehe… don’t laugh at me. U knows meh? we sama-sama balik belajar lar...Hahaha….. :D
