Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital has just handled a special case in time: Successfully removed a piece of male magnet from the stomach of a 4-year-old child, from Chu Van An, Hai Phong.
According to doctors, if the magnetic stripe is not removed early, children can experience dangerous complications such as scratches and inflammation of the stomach lining. More dangerously, if the magnet moves and gets stuck in narrow locations in the intestines, it can cause intestinal obstruction, perforation and lead to a life-threatening abdominal infection.
Medical experts recommend that if you suspect that your baby is swallowing a foreign object, parents should quickly take your baby to the nearest medical facility for timely examination and treatment. Absolutely do not arbitrarily apply folk remedies or try to cause vomiting to remove foreign objects. Delay in treatment or improper treatment can lead to serious complications, affecting children's health in the long term.
