A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm.

Take care and share with other elderly.

3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful.
