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

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

When drinking water -

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:

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.

Stop everything and concentrate on drinking water carefully and slowly.

And the other is to prevent choking.

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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

The following information is passed on by a doctor who is still active in the medical field. It is worth referencing, especially if you or your relatives or friends have become elderly.

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

Has anyone been spanked by their parents after becoming an adult?

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

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

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

Please Note:

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.

Take care and share with other elderly.
