Durg. In Bhilai, a one-year-old child swallowed a coin cell while playing. The relatives did not even know about it. The parents had taken the child to Sparsh Hospital for treatment of cold and cough. X-rays revealed that something was stuck in his intestine. After this, the button battery was taken out without operation by doing endoscopy from the child’s stomach. Swarnalata, a resident of Bhilai, told that her one-year-old son Nitya had cold, cough and fever for about two months. That’s why she had come to Sparsh Hospital in Bhilai to get her treated. When the child was examined here, the doctors told that something like a button battery was stuck in his intestine.
When the relatives inquired in the house, they found that a battery of the toy mobile kept there was missing. The relatives got scared. After this the doctors did endoscopy of the child and took out the battery from his stomach without any operation. Now Nitya is completely fine. Due to the button battery, he had minor wounds in his intestine, which will heal soon.
Dr. Arpan Jain told that the alimentary canal and trachea of a one-year-old child are very small. When endoscopy was being done to remove the button battery, his oxygen level was getting very low due to not being able to breathe. Along with this, due to less space in the alimentary canal, the battery was also not coming out. After this, Dr. Jain first pushed that battery back and brought it to the stomach. After this, trapped in endoscopy and taken out. He said that it was a rare case of his career, which was successful.
