What should I do if I choke when I sleep? What s it like to be woken up while sleeping

Contain a piece of orange peel for 10 minutes before going to bed, and then go to bed to cure snoring and choking.

Hello friends, this will not cause a bad effect, pay attention to drink plenty of water, and you can move a little.

If you are woken up while sleeping, it may be tonsillitis and pharyngitis, it is recommended that you avoid spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, drink more boiled water, and see if the situation is relieved. If the condition does not slow down as mentioned above, it is recommended to go to the hospital for medical treatment.

Drooling while sleeping may be caused by improper sleeping position, such as sleeping on the table or sleeping on the side. However, if this is the case for a long time, it may be caused by some physical diseases and needs to be paid attention to.

There are four factors that usually cause drooling while sleeping:

Cause. 1. Poor oral hygiene: The temperature and humidity in the oral cavity are most suitable for the reproduction of bacteria, and the accumulation of food residues or carbohydrates between the teeth and on the tooth surface is prone to caries and periodontal disease. Inflammation in the mouth promotes saliva production.

If the mouth is infected by bacteria, the pain is obvious, and it is easy to drool, and topical medication is needed to promote the healing of ulcers, and the drooling will disappear automatically.

Drooling, salty smell, and pale yellow pillow towels are likely due to poor oral hygiene, accumulation of food debris, and more tartar over time, causing gum inflammation and even a small amount of bleeding from the gums. Therefore, the drool water that flows when sleeping has a salty taste and is pale yellow.

Cause. 2. Anterior tooth deformity: Dental deformity is the third cause of drooling during sleep. Especially in patients with convex dental deformities, the anterior teeth protrude more obviously, and the lips are often open and toothy, and it is difficult for the lips to completely cover the anterior tooth surface when sleeping, and the upper and lower lips are often naturally separated, which makes it easy to drool.

It is advisable for such patients to have their teeth straightened as soon as possible.

Cause. 3. Neuromodulation disorders: In addition to the above-mentioned oral problems, there are also some systemic diseases that may also cause drooling while sleeping. The regulation of saliva secretion is completely neuroreflexive, so-called"Wangmei quenches her thirst", is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in everyday life.

Therefore, if there is a disorder of neuromodulation, it can also cause drooling during sleep. Some people with neurosis or other systemic disorders that may cause autonomic disorders may experience abnormal parasympathetic nervous excitement while sleeping, causing the brain to send false signals and cause increased saliva production.

Cause. 4. Drug factors: In addition, one of the most important anti-epileptic drugs is drooling, and you need to pay attention when choosing drugs.

According to the preliminary situation, your stomach has too much stomach acid, and you often don't pay attention to it during the day, sleep and sleep at night, and the stomach acid enters the respiratory tract instead of the mouth, causing you to be choked by gastric juice.

Don't panic too much if you choke, if the aspirated thing remains in the mouth, the patient can open his mouth to remove the foreign body. If the aspirated object enters the trachea, the person should immediately lie down, face the ground, and cough vigorously to cough up the foreign body as much as possible.

There are two types of choking problems:

The first is an occasional occurrence when eating, such as an occasional choking cough when drinking water, so it doesn't matter, everyone will experience this situation. The second is that if you often choke when drinking water, then you should be careful.

Because the larynx and the trachea below us are both passages for breathing, which are in front of the neck, and the passages for food and water when eating are the pharynx and esophagus, which are behind the neck.

When we eat or drink, the food mass or water passes backwards from the mouth and through the larynx and trachea to the pharynx and esophagus. In this process, when food or water passes through the larynx, the epiglottis at the entrance of the larynx will press backward and close the entrance to the larynx, which is equivalent to closing the lid of the wellhead, and the vocal cords in the larynx will be adducted, which can prevent food or water from choking on the trachea.

These processes require the coordination of sensory and motor nerves and corresponding muscle movements. Therefore, if you choke on water repeatedly, it indicates that there is a problem with the function of these nerves or muscles, and you need to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Analysis:

Hello, from the situation you described, your son often choked on saliva while sleeping, choking until he woke up several times a night, most likely due to excessive saliva production due to various factors.

Guidance: It is recommended that you take him to the pediatric dental clinic of a large local hospital for treatment to further identify the cause and make a clear diagnosis so that the symptoms can be treated.
