A six-month-old has been stung on the tongue after putting a bottle in his mouth that had a bee on the nipple. In comparison to the same injury in an adult, why would you be more concerned with this child?

A) A child's airway has more blood vessels than an adult's, making bleeding more of a concern. B) The child's tongue is proportionally larger, increasing the chance of airway occlusion from swelling. C) Children tend to be highly allergic to bee stings while the same allergy in an adult is rare. D) When injured, a child's mouth produces more saliva, making airway occlusion a major concern.
