After the evacuation, an area was set up to provide food, water, and medical assistance to the citizens residing in the community
Dr Sandeep Kuchi, paediatrics and neonatology specialist, at Aster Hospital, Al Qusais, added that if the child is one year old or younger, the parent should hold him or her in a head-down position and give five back slaps. Then, this must be followed by five chest thrusts to be given below the rib cage.
"If the child is more than one year old, five abdominal thrusts should be given. After each cycle of the manoeuvre, we need to check if the airway obstruction is relieved which can be observed by the change in colour, spontaneous breathing, and the child being able to cry or speak," Dr Kuchi. However, even if the emergency manoeuvre is done, the child still has to be taken to the hospital, he added.
>> Do not overfeed them
>> While the child is eating, do not play with him and don't make him laugh
>> Keep coins and other small items that can be easily swallowed out of their reach
>> Don't be in a rush to give babies solid food
