Dr. Elizabeth K. Flowers discusses what parents should know about preventing choking hazards in children. She advises on ways to prevent obstruction in the windpipe, including avoiding common food items and objects that can cause choking. She gives tips on the introduction of solid foods and ways for safe digestion and swallowing. She shares guidance on what parents can do to prevent choking hazards and what to do if their child is gagging or coughing, including calling 911 for urgent medical emergencies.

Every parent wants what’s best for their children — but in the age of the internet, it can be difficult to navigate what is actually fact-based or pure speculation.
