Please Note:

Stop everything and concentrate on drinking water carefully and slowly.

I received this in a WhatsApp forward and felt it should be widely shared.

A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:

1. Use a straw, if possible, while drinking water, and keep your head down when swallowing.

The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength.

3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful.

5. Old people do not have the same physical strength and endurance as young people.

Do not speak or turn your head when there is food or water in your mouth.

2. Please eat thick soup instead of clear soup. Clear soup flows quickly, and it is easy to choke when breathing is not smooth.

When drinking water -

How do I know if I am a bitch? I try to be a nice person but people often jokingly call me a bitch. My family calls me a bitch sometimes too.

As we get older, we must drink water slowly, attentively, and cautiously.

If liquid or food enters the trachea and is coughed out, the face will turn red and the blood pressure will soar. Sometimes choking can be fatal.

Pneumonia caused by choking on drinking water, milk, soup, etc., which is a common problem among the elderly.
