On May 3, the City Children's Hospital informed the unit receiving the treatment of male patient P.K (3 years old, District 8) who was stung by a bee and caused anaphylactic shock.
2 hours before being hospitalized, K played indoors and had many bees flying in. K was burned in the right thigh and kicked a bee. The family said that there were fly bees nesting in front of the house.
After being burned, the child vomited, had red skin, had blisters in the eyes, and had bad lips. The family took the child to a local hospital for first aid, then transferred him to the City Children's Hospital.
The child was admitted to the hospital in a state of drowsiness, confusion, cyanosis, and shortness of breath 42 times/minute, mild limb mach, and blood pressure 80/60 mmHg. Bees bites in the thighs and between the toes of the right leg. The doctor diagnosed the child with stage III anaphylactic shock due to second-hour bee stings and respiratory failure.
After treatment, the child's condition improved, gradually he had no respiratory failure, his blood pressure was stable, he was alert, his facial edema was gone, and his skin was gone red. The child was monitored in the hospital for at least 24 hours to detect early signs of shock deferral and complications of damage to liver, kidney, brain, heart and lung organs.
Doctor Nguyen Minh Tien - Deputy Director of the City Children's Hospital recommends that parents should be careful to avoid letting their children climb and pick fruit because they may fall and be attacked by bees due to accidental or intentional tearing of the beehive.
Parents should control the clearing of beehives around home and in the garden. When picnicking in the forest or garden, be careful to avoid wearing colorful clothes or applying a lot of essential oil because it is easy for the beehives to attack.
