urgent! A coin is stuck at the entrance of the esophagus of a 2-year-old child. Never let children play with these little things.

Two-year-old Niu Niu (pseudonym) was playing at home when he put a coin in his mouth. He accidentally fell down and the coin was swallowed by Niu Niu. Suddenly, Niu Niu started crying. Niu Niu\’s parents were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. In desperation, they took Niu Niu to Zhengzhou People\’s Hospital. They first took a chest X-ray and then went to the Gastroenterology Endoscopy Center. \”That afternoon, I had just treated the last patient and was getting ready to get off work. A young couple came to me in a hurry with their child in their arms, saying that the child had swallowed a coin and hoped that we could save the child! At that time, the child kept Crying, vomiting, but unable to express!\” Jiang Haibo, deputy director of the Gastroenterology Endoscopy Center, recalled the scene at that time. Jiang Haibo checked the child\’s chest X-ray results, which showed a round metal foreign body in the upper esophagus. Not caring about the exhaustion of the day, Jiang Haibo immediately arranged an operation for the child to establish an intravenous channel. The anesthesiologist escorted the child and placed a dental pad after the child fell asleep quietly. Later, Jiang Haibo gently inserted the gastroscope into the upper esophagus, and a white coin was seen embedded at the entrance of the esophagus, moving up and down with breathing. Jiang Haibo inserted the long alligator-mouth foreign body forceps from the biopsy hole and adjusted the angle so that the opening of the foreign body forceps was perpendicular to the coin. After 2 minutes, the coin stuck at the child\’s esophageal opening was successfully removed. After the child woke up from the anesthesia, he jumped up and down and shouted to his parents for chocolate. Seeing that Niu Niu was back to normal, his parents were instantly relieved and thanked him profusely. It is not advisable for children to swallow foreign objects and induce vomiting. Jiang Haibo said that children under 3 years old do not have the ability to identify. Parents should educate their babies to correct the bad habit of holding small toys in their mouths, such as coins, buttons and other parts and hardware, and warn their children not to treat these things as Keep toys in your mouth to avoid accidental swallowing or aspiration of foreign objects, which may cause unnecessary danger. If you find that food has been stuck in your child\’s throat by mistake, you must not induce vomiting because the baby is small and will inevitably cry when vomiting. Crying and inhaling will easily suck food into the airway and cause more serious damage. At the same time, do not believe in folk remedies and try to let the foreign matter drain out on its own, otherwise it may damage the blood vessels and cause greater danger. Jiang Haibo reminded parents that once they encounter this kind of situation, they must send their children to the hospital in time and actively use endoscopic diagnosis and trial to avoid accidents.
