It's thrilling! A baby over 1 year old swallowed this thing by mistake...

Zheng Rui, a pediatrician at Lishui Central Hospital who was in charge of receiving the treatment, told reporters that the incident occurred at about 6 a.m. on February 3. At that time, a pair of panicked parents came to the clinic, with a baby girl of 1 year old or older. According to their account, that afternoon, when the younger daughter was playing at home, the eldest daughter gave her a small flashlight, which she bit into the shell and swallowed the button battery in the flashlight into her stomach. At the local hospital in Qingyuan, X-rays showed that the battery was in the child's abdomen. So they sent their child to Yeosu Central Hospital overnight for medical treatment.

Zheng Rui introduced:

Never underestimate the harm that a coin cell battery can do to your child. Because the button battery contains heavy metal substances such as mercury, cadmium and lead, once it enters the esophagus, the zinc oxide and silver on its surface react chemically with the proteins of the esophageal mucosa, which will cause erosion and ulceration of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, and the heavy will have complications such as perforation of the digestive tract and endanger life.

If your child is unfortunate enough to swallow a battery, the severity of the symptoms is proportional to the amount of time the coin cell battery stays in the body. "In this case, surgery is usually arranged to remove the battery immediately to avoid more serious consequences." According to the doctor, in view of the fact that the patient's baby did not have obvious symptoms of discomfort at that time, and the state was relatively good, her parents requested conservative treatment. "Moreover, subsequent X-rays also showed that the coin cell battery has been moving in the direction of the anus." Therefore, the doctor gave the patient oral honey and olive oil to help him drain the battery as soon as possible.

Yesterday morning, the good news finally came that the button battery that had been swallowed by mistake was discharged. At the same time, the doctor also reminded parents that children mistakenly swallow button batteries, magnetic beads and other items, which is extremely harmful to the digestive tract, and parents must pay attention to keeping their children away from these items. If your child accidentally swallows, be sure to get a doctor right away.
