Cause of choking: Choking in infants and small children is caused by small foreign object blocking one of the airways. If children play with objects in their mouth, there is an increased risk that the object will get into trachea or airways accidentally. Choking is also caused by crushing of the trachea. It is also caused by obstruction of airways which can lead to obstructive sleep apnea. Some infections can also cause swelling of the airways or produce excessive secretions.
PERTUSSIS (Whooping Cough) causes coughing spells so bad that it is hard for infants to eat, drink, or breathe. These spells can last for weeks. It can lead to pneumonia, seizures (jerking and staring spells), brain damage, and death. Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine (DTaP) can help prevent these diseases. Most children who are vaccinated with DTaP will be protected throughout childhood. Many more children would get these diseases if we stopped vaccinating. DTaP is a safer version of an older vaccine called DTP.
