Trachea question?!
Question:
Trachea question?
About how big does an foreign object or piece of food need to be in order to get lodged in the trachea in a serious manner for an adult?
Why is it that some food one can cough back out of the trachea?
How come adults are better suited to eating candy than very very young children?
Thanks,
George
Answers:
Kids are smaller, so they have smaller (more narrow) tracheas. Easier to get things stuck.
