Heartache! A 1-year-old boy swallowed a button battery and burned his esophagus

Lele, a 1-year-old boy in Shunde, Foshan, put a button battery into his mouth when his parents didn't pay attention on the evening of April 4. When parents saw it, they immediately pulled their children's throat. Then they saw a battery on the ground and thought it was all right. As a result, the next day Lele vomited what he ate. His parents took him to the hospital and found that the battery was stuck in the esophagus and did not vomit at all. The battery on the ground was another one.

At that time, the battery had blackened, edema around the esophagus and severe burns to the mucous membrane. If the battery is not removed, the alkaline liquid continuously flowing out of the battery in the body will cause Lele esophageal perforation, which will seriously cause death. The doctor made a strict plan, implemented general anesthesia for Lele and took out the battery. Currently, Lele is receiving follow-up treatment in PICU. The doctor said, 'the child needs close observation in the next three months and can't eat normally until the esophageal scar is completely repaired.'
