Recently, Nanning Maternal and Child Health Hospital received a 2-year-old and 3-month-old child, the family said that the child accidentally swallowed a coin while playing, fortunately found in time, the child has no major problems.
According to Xu Jiangyan, deputy director of the Department of Pediatrics of Nanning Maternal and Child Health Hospital, after receiving the child, they immediately used gastroscopy to examine the child and found that a coin was stuck in the upper part of the child's esophagus, so they quickly took out the coin under the pliers. It is understood that the coin was embedded in the upper section of the esophagus for 12 hours, and although the mucosa of the child was slightly damaged, there was no ulcer, erosion, perforation and other conditions, and he was successfully discharged the next morning.
According to reports, this is the second case of children swallowing foreign bodies in Nanning Maternal and Child Health Hospital in March this year. Cases of esophageal foreign bodies like these are not uncommon in pediatrics. Earlier, there was a young child who had swallowed the magnetic bead by mistake, and due to the late detection, the magnetic bead was about to break out of the serous membrane, and finally could only be treated surgically.
Foreign bodies in the digestive tract of children are one of the most common critical conditions in gastroenterology, and if left untreated, they can lead to multiple injuries and even life-threatening. Children have poor ability to identify dangers, especially children under 5 years old like to explore the world with their "mouths", so the incident of accidental ingestion of foreign bodies in the digestive tract occurs frequently. Chen Zhentian, director of surgery at Nanning Maternal and Child Health Hospital, reminded parents that when choosing toys for children, they should pay attention to several principles: First, do not choose small toys with potential safety hazards, especially toys that can not be easily disassembled and disassembled into small parts, including some buttons, small wheels, small beads, etc.; second, it is forbidden to play with toys such as magnetic beads for children of low age; third, do not play with toys that do not meet the age stage for children. Swallowing a foreign body by mistake, an insignificant little thing can hurt the child, and even lead to an irreparable tragedy, please pay attention to prevention, pay attention to daily care, and seek medical treatment in time when relevant situations are found.
