Doctors Remove Dozens of Swallowed Objects from Children in One Week

Doctors in Nizhny Novgorod have removed dozens of swallowed and inhaled objects from children in just one week. The incidents happened before the summer break had even begun. Medical experts are now reminding parents of the correct steps to take in such emergencies. Endoscopist Aleksandr Dvoryaninov showed the various items that young patients had swallowed or inhaled. The cases ranged from small toys to food pieces, all requiring urgent medical attention.

If a child swallows a foreign object, parents should not try to induce vomiting or force it through. Giving food or drink is also unsafe. Instead, they must seek professional help immediately. The same advice applies if a child inhales an object—staying calm and acting quickly is crucial. The recent spike in cases highlights the need for vigilance, even outside peak holiday periods. Medical teams continue to stress the importance of fast action and avoiding home remedies. Proper emergency response can prevent serious complications for affected children.
