Nghe An: 11-year-old boy critically bitten by cobra while catching crabs at night in the field with his father

Previously, on the evening of March 1, Nguyen Sy Quang Huy (11 years old, resident of Hamlet 4, Xuan Son Commune, Do Luong District) and his father Nguyen Sy The (36 years old) went to the field near their house to catch crabs. While not paying attention, Huy was bitten on the left finger by a cobra.

Seeing his son screaming because of a venomous snake bite, Mr. The quickly ran to his rescue and took him to the hospital for emergency treatment. Due to the seriousness of his injuries, Huy was transferred to Bach Mai Hospital for emergency treatment that same night.

“Now he still has to have plasma transfusion to push the poison out. His left arm is stiff, and it is not known whether he can save it or not. The cost of treatment is very expensive, the family has borrowed money from some relatives, but I don’t know what to do in the coming days,” Mr. The said sadly.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Van - Secretary of the Xuan Son Commune Youth Union said that Mr. The's family situation is very difficult. His wife passed away early, leaving Mr. The to take care of his two children alone, and their life depends mainly on farming. Over the years, the commune youth union has also given many gifts to Mr. The's family to encourage the father and his three children to overcome difficulties.
