(Baonghean.vn) - Nghia Dan Medical Center said that the unit received patient LDC (46 months old, in Nghia Lac commune) in the hospital with ear pain, tinnitus...
On January 7, the patient came to the Center for examination. Through examination and endoscopy, the doctor discovered a foreign object in the ear, located very deep inside and could not be removed during endoscopy, so the child was transferred to the operating room to be anesthetized before it could be removed.
When the foreign object was removed, the doctor examined it and determined that it was clay used in a modeling game. After that, patient C. was stable and is continuing to be monitored at the Department of Surgery - 3CK.
Doctor Cao Van Ky, Head of the Department of Surgery - 3CK, Nghia Dan Medical Center recommends: When letting children play with modeling clay, parents need to monitor and carefully instruct children not to put toys in their mouths, noses and ears, especially with clay. When children show signs of nasal pain, difficulty breathing or runny nose, ear pain, tinnitus, itching and discomfort, it is necessary to check whether the child has put toys in their nose, mouth, or ears and go to a medical facility immediately for timely diagnosis./.
