Zhang Peng (pseudonym) is 11 years old and lives in Daqing. Recently, in time for the winter vacation, and close to the Spring Festival, Zhang Peng's mother bought him a toy magnetic bead. As a result, a few days ago, Zhang Peng suddenly vomited incessantly, and his body temperature rose to 38.2 degrees Celsius.
Zhang Peng's mother
I said son, did you eat any toys, and then he told me, and he said Mom, I ate the magnetic beads, and ate two of them.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Peng wanted to taste what this magnetic bead really tasted, so he ate the magnetic bead. The mother knew that the child did not pay special attention to the magnetic beads after eating them, thinking that they could be excreted normally. However, instead of getting better, the child vomited even more, and Zhang Peng's mother quickly sent him to the hospital for treatment.
Chief Physician of Department of Harbin Children's Hospital Wang Wensheng
Considering that the child is like an intestinal perforation, through our preoperative preparation, we will give him surgery on the night of January 18.
Zhang Peng was sent to the hospital for treatment after eating magnetic beads for four days, delaying the best time to remove, resulting in intestinal perforation, and can only be treated by surgery.
We have been in contact with this magnetic sphere a lot, and then now the whole country has basically reached a consensus, on this magnetic sphere, especially more than two, must be taken out of the early surgery or gastroscopy, because most of what we found is a state of intestinal perforation, or even septic shock.
Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and if it is a few days late, it may be life-threatening. After the operation, Zhang Peng's state was better than before, but he still needed to be appropriately active and receive anti-inflammatory treatment to prevent intestinal obstruction. The doctor said that the department will receive more than ten cases of children who swallow magnetic beads by mistake every year, don't look at the beads are not large, some children even have septic shock, parents must pay attention to it.

Especially for smaller children, when playing with magnetic balls, parents must take more care of them next to them. If you know that the child swallowed by mistake, it must be recommended that parents go to the hospital early, go to a regular hospital, and have a formal treatment.
When the child is playing with magnetic beads,
Parents must accompany them throughout the process,
Also be sure to remember the number of magnetic beads.
Once swallowing occurs, seek medical attention in time,
Some time ago, a 6-year-old boy while playing with the toy car while holding a magnetic bead in his mouth, accidentally swallowed the magnetic bead, the child's mother knew, hard let the child swallow a large piece of steamed buns, a few minutes later, the child not only did not get better, but there were symptoms of shock, the mother quickly sent the child to the hospital, the magnetic bead was taken out, very fortunate that the child is not a big problem.
In life, especially children especially like to put toys in the mouth, a little carelessness may occur to swallow, children themselves can not say clearly, if parents do not find out in time, it is easy to be dangerous.
Not long ago, a 10-month-old baby swallowed a screw into his stomach. After a while, the child had symptoms of breathing difficulties, and the child's father quickly sent the child to the hospital, and after the examination, he learned that the screw was stuck in the trachea.
Magnet toys, button batteries, etc. may cause digestive tract perforation, fish spines, bones, etc. will damage the digestive tract mucosa and even puncture the digestive tract to puncture the surrounding tissues and blood vessels, parents should remain calm after finding that children swallow foreign bodies, do not listen to folk remedies with "eat leeks", "drink vinegar" and other ways to deal with, should immediately go to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, parents should also take good care of their children, do not let their children touch toys that may cause danger, and also cultivate children to develop a good habit of not swallowing things.
