It's not uncommon for children to swallow foreign objects by mistake, but have you ever heard of a "bear child" swallowing 3 steel nails into his belly?
On February 14, the Department of Gastroenterology of Henan Provincial Children's Hospital received a 1-year-old and 8-month-old baby, whose family said that the child accidentally swallowed it when playing with nails, and the doctor found that the child's stomach cavity was lined with 3 6 cm long steel nails through gastroscopy.
In reality, similar things abound. Children are curious about everything, especially they like to explore the world in the "eating" way. However, swallowing hair cards, buttons, coins, rings, batteries, magnetic beads and other items by mistake is extremely harmful to the digestive tract, and it is hoped that parents must be careful when taking care of their children.
Children's safety can not be ignored, families with children must pay attention to details implied hidden dangers, these potential dangers parents and friends must not be careless!
1. Round foreign body
Coins, game coins, marbles, chess pieces, etc. If the morphology of the foreign body swallowed by mistake is more regular and the diameter is smaller, the damage to the digestive tract of the child is small, and it can generally be discharged by itself, and the parents can give the child a crude fiber diet and anti-ejaculator drugs to promote the discharge of foreign body. If symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction occur or the foreign body has not been excreted for about 1 week, or the diameter of the foreign body is large, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment and remove the foreign body with the help of digestive endoscopy. It should be noted that if a child mistakenly takes 2 or more magnetic beads, the magnetic force between the magnetic beads can cause damage to the mucosa of the digestive tract and even intestinal perforation, and it is necessary to go to the hospital quickly.
2. Sharp foreign body
Fish bones, sugar bars, melon seed shells, jujube nuclei, apricot nuclei and other sharp foreign bodies are easy to scratch the esophagus, causing local infection, serious can cause esophageal erosion, ulceration, bleeding, and even cause serious consequences such as esophageal perforation, if swallowed by mistake, do not try to induce vomiting or eat again, you should take the child to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best rescue time.
3. Drugs
Antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, cold medicines, psychotropic drugs, thyroxine and other high-risk drugs, if the toxic side effects of the drug are obvious and the dose is too large, it is easy to cause damage to children's liver and kidney function and even the nervous system. Parents must usually pay attention to keeping their children away from these items. If you accidentally take it by mistake, then parents can use a tongue depressor, spoon or chopsticks to compress the root of the child's tongue, stimulate the posterior wall of the pharynx to induce vomiting, and after the correct initial treatment of vomiting, it should be quickly sent to the hospital for treatment. It should be noted that when inducing vomiting, it is necessary to place the child in a lateral lying position to prevent vomit from blocking the airway and causing suffocation.
4. Corrosive foreign body
Button batteries or strong acids, strong alkali corrosive substances, mistakenly taken will cause irreversible damage to the digestive tract of children. If it is found that the child mistakenly took it to prevent vomiting, the child can drink an appropriate amount of milk, protect the mucous membrane of the digestive tract and quickly send it to the hospital, and provide the doctor with the name, ingredients, time and dosage of the mistakenly taken liquid when seeking medical treatment.
Preventing a problem is the easiest and most effective way to mistakenly take a foreign body. Dangerous goods in daily life, especially brightly colored and sweet-tasting drugs, should be properly placed and regularly checked, and children should be avoided as much as possible when taking, so as to reduce the chance of children taking it by mistake.
