LIFESTYLE NEWS - Raising children can be just a little bit stressful at times, even for the calmest, most organised parent.
Little ones, usually very curious, tend to do a lot of unpredictable things. Like sticking a popcorn pip up their nose.
Aside from trying to keep the panic and hysteria to a limit, here are some practical things you can try to avoid having to race off to the hospital.
It’s called the kiss method:
1. Place your mouth over your child’s mouth.
2. Hold the nostril that isn’t blocked closed with a finger.
3. Blow gently into your child’s mouth.
Doctor Purva Grover, the medical director of Cleveland Clinic Children’s Pediatric Emergency Departments, advises to try once, then to get help.
