News from this newspaper (Reporter Wang Jingjing) A few days ago, a 2-year-old child Zhuangzhuang (pseudonym) was taken to a local hospital for examination by his family because of a persistent cough after a cold. During a lung CT scan, the doctor found that there were foreign bodies in his stomach and intestines. And the two foreign objects were sucked together.

  The parents recalled that they found that there were 2 less magnetic balls at home before the Spring Festival. They couldn't find them no matter how much they looked for. They guessed that they were swallowed by the baby by mistake.

Under the advice of local doctors, they immediately took Zhuangzhuang to Changchun Children's Hospital for treatment.

  In the endoscopy center, Bian Peng, deputy director of the endoscopy center, found that the magnetic ball swallowed by Zhuangzhuang was 2 cm in diameter and oval in shape.

  Considering that the foreign body was swallowed for a long time, the suction point of the two balls may have been perforated. The endoscopy center consulted with the surgeon to quickly study the solution.

Bian Peng said that the first is surgical treatment, but there are bile ducts and large blood vessels around the duodenum, and the surrounding tissues are particularly sensitive. Once a problem occurs, the risk is extremely high; the second is conservative treatment. Under the condition of stable vital signs, temporary Observe, when the stomach and intestine perforate to form a sinus, the foreign body can be taken out under the endoscope without surgery.

  After communication, the parents chose conservative treatment and came back to take out the foreign body on another day.

  According to Bian Peng, the Spring Festival period is a high-incidence period for children to accidentally swallow foreign objects. Accidental swallowing of magnetic balls is only one of the cases of foreign objects.

"Nearly 20 cases of foreign objects were taken during the Spring Festival, including chestnuts, coins, pen caps, small stationery parts, etc." Bian Peng suggested that parents keep button batteries, toy parts, nuts and other small objects properly to prevent children from accidentally swallowing or stuffing them. Eating when the child is crying; when the child eats nuts, chews bones, and eats fish, parents must take care to avoid getting stuck.
