According to the patient's family, on August 2, the parents went to work and left their child at home to play alone. S went out to the garden to play and accidentally fell into a well about 8 meters deep.

When they came home from work and did not see S, the parents went to look for him and were shocked to find him standing in the well, holding onto the edge of the well and crying. They immediately called for everyone to come and bring the child to shore, then transferred him to the hospital.

After receiving the pediatric patient in critical condition, the doctors held an emergency consultation and transferred him to the Intensive Care Unit for treatment with mechanical ventilation, intravenous fluids, vasopressors, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and intravenous nutrition.

Currently, after 7 days of active treatment, the patient's condition has temporarily stabilized.
