(Baonghean.vn) - Nghia Dan Medical Center reported that it had admitted patient LDC (46 months old, from Nghia Lac commune) with symptoms of ear pain and tinnitus…
On January 7th, the patient visited the center for examination. During the examination and endoscopy, doctors discovered a foreign object deep inside the ear that could not be removed during the procedure. Therefore, the child was transferred to the operating room under anesthesia for removal.
After the foreign object was removed, the doctor examined it and determined it was clay used in sculpting games. Patient C.'s condition stabilized, and he is continuing to be monitored at the Surgery Department - 3CK.
Dr. Cao Van Ky, Head of the Surgery Department – 3CK, Nghia Dan Medical Center, advises: Parents should carefully supervise and instruct children not to put toys, especially clay, into their mouths, noses, and ears when letting them play with modeling clay. If children show symptoms such as nasal pain, difficulty breathing, runny nose, ear pain, tinnitus, or itching, check if they have put toys in their noses, mouths, or ears and immediately go to a medical facility for timely diagnosis.
