Choking vs Choaking – What’s the difference?

If you’ve ever had to help a toddler who’s started gasping for breath, you know the panic that sets in. Choking is one of the most common causes of death in children under 4 years old. In fact, about 1 in every 100 kids will experience an episode of choking by their second birthday. Because choking is so common among children, it’s important that parents have a plan in place to deal with emergency situations like this one. However, what exactly counts as choking? And how do we distinguish between choking and choaking? In this article, we’ll discuss these terms and provide tips on how to prevent them from happening to your child or someone else’s child.

Choking is a medical emergency that occurs when an object blocks the airway.

Choking is a medical emergency that occurs when an object blocks the airway. The object may be stuck in the throat, or it may have been aspirated (swallowed), causing swelling around your windpipe. Either way, you’re unable to breathe or speak and are struggling to breathe; this can lead to blue lips and skin as well as unconsciousness if left untreated.

Choaking is a slang term used when someone is having difficulty with their speech or enunciating words.

If you feel like something is stuck in your throat or chest area that’s preventing proper breathing, call 911 immediately! The sooner help arrives the better chance we have of saving lives every year by teaching people how to perform CPR on one another until paramedics arrive on scene

Both choking and choaking can be caused by anything from food to toys.

Choking and choaking are both caused by an obstruction in your airway. The difference between the two is that choking is caused by something you’re eating or drinking, while choaking is caused by something else–like a toy or button.

Both can be deadly if not treated immediately, so it’s important to know the signs of each type of obstruction so that you can take action quickly if you ever find yourself in this situation.

To prevent choking, make sure you supervise your children when eating and never leave them unattended with small objects like toys and balloons.

If your child is old enough to eat solid foods, but still has a lot of growing to do (for example, if he or she is under 1 year old), it’s important that his or her first foods are soft ones that won’t cause choking. You can start by giving him/her baby-safe pureed fruits and vegetables mixed with breast milk or formula until he/she is ready for more solid foods.

To avoid emergency situations, always make sure you’re present when your children are eating.

If you are a parent, it’s important that you supervise your children when they are eating. You should never leave them unattended with small objects like toys and balloons. Don’t let them eat while they are walking or running either; this can lead to choking on food or other objects in their mouth. And finally, don’t let them sit on their knees while eating as well–this also increases the risk of choking!
