Some home treatments can make things worse!
 |
DO NOT try to gag someone with a finger or spoon. (It usually doesn’t work; besides, you can injure the back of someone’s throat and cause bleeding. You can also have your finger bitten!) |
|
DO NOT give salt water or baking soda. (Too much can cause seizures and even kill someone. Anyway, it doesn’t work well and can be harmful.) |
|
DO NOT give mustard, raw eggs, or other home remedies. (They don’t work and can be harmful.) |
