On the morning of June 14, Ms. NTH, 65 years old, residing in Dong Van commune, Tan Ky district, came to the district health center for examination with a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a feeling of choking in the throat. Ms. H. said that she felt tired so she asked her family to buy medicine at the market stall. The pills were pre-packaged in small bags according to each dose.

Because she was tired and did not pay attention, she swallowed the entire dose in the bag right after that. Using an endoscopy method under anesthesia with a flexible digestive tube, the doctors later discovered an unopened pill lying in the middle of the patient's esophagus. Immediately after, the pill was removed without any pain because the patient was anesthetized during the endoscopy. The patient's health is now stable.
