Children are curious
I like to touch and touch everything
So there are often children
He was admitted to the hospital because of accidental ingestion of a foreign body
The first two days
A four-year-old girl
Mistakenly swallowed a sticky "gem"
He was rushed to the hospital late at night by his family
According to Liu Weirong, deputy director of the Department of Pediatric Internal Medicine of Shaoxing People's Hospital, at 22:00 on the evening of February 11, he was resting at home when he suddenly received a call from the doctor on duty in the department, saying that there was a four-year-old child in the emergency department who had eaten a foreign body by mistake and should undergo gastroscopy immediately.
"At that time, the child ate a piece of sticky paper of crystal gemstones, which still had a certain thickness, and after eating it, the child felt very uncomfortable and kept crying. The otolaryngologist first examined the child's pharynx and found no foreign body, then completed the examination and gave her a neck CT. CT found that there was a high-density image of the upper end of the child's esophagus, which was transferred to our pediatric internal medicine department for further processing. ”
Liu Weirong introduced that because the child did not eat for the time without meeting the fasting time required by anesthesia, it was impossible to take the foreign body under anesthesia, and he could only choose to use an ordinary gastroscope to take the foreign body for the child in a awake state. In order to prevent the child from crying and making trouble, three doctors and a nurse "went to battle" together, after everyone's joint efforts, the gastroscope proceeded smoothly, and the foreign body in the child's body was removed, and it was indeed a jewel-like sticker!
When asked why the child would eat the gemstones, she said: "Originally the gem stickers were all pasted on the table, but she didn't know how to cut them down that day and put them in her mouth to play." Our parents didn't notice it in time, and then she accidentally ran and talked, and the gem slipped into her throat..."
Ms. Liu, a parent, said that at first they did not realize that the child had ingested a foreign body by mistake, and thought that she was tired of exercise and wanted to drink water until the child told the truth - "Mom, I swallowed a jewel!" "The family was frightened and rushed to the emergency department of the People's Hospital.
In this regard, Liu Weirong, deputy director of the Department of Pediatric Internal Medicine of Shaoxing People's Hospital, introduced that children are curious and eat things by mistake. Over the years, he has taken out a variety of foreign objects, including toys, coins, date cores, bones, and even earrings and hairpins for adults.
Liu Weirong said that the general small size, blunt edge, non-corrosive and short incarceration time of esophageal foreign bodies, timely removal of nothing, but as doctors, they are most afraid of children swallowing is similar to button batteries, magnetic beads and other foreign bodies that are seriously harmful to the body. Coin cell batteries are usually strongly alkaline, extremely corrosive, and can cause serious burns, esophageal stenosis and other complications in only 2-2.5 hours after being embedded in the esophagus.

Liu Weirong reminded that first of all, parents must take good care of their young children, and secondly, they must not put foreign bodies that may be swallowed and cause serious consequences in the home.
If you find that the child swallows a foreign body, try not to feed with food through the old method of "home remedies", want to let the child swallow it and finally excrete it, this method is not correct, should be the first time to fast, temporarily do not eat, do not drink water, and then rush to the hospital for examination and treatment.
