At the Functional Exploration Department, the team of doctors performed endoscopy under general anesthesia to ensure safety, reduce pain and avoid psychological trauma for the child. Through the gastroscopy, the doctors successfully removed the foreign object, a piece of necklace, without causing damage to the gastric-esophageal mucosa. After the procedure, the child was conscious, in stable health and was further monitored at the department.

The treating doctor said that each case of swallowing foreign objects such as necklaces, coins, batteries or toy pieces is a reminder of the safety risks for children. Just a little negligence by adults can lead to unfortunate accidents. Parents need to regularly supervise, not let children play alone with small objects that are easy to swallow, and equip themselves with first aid knowledge and take children to a medical facility immediately if they suspect they have swallowed a foreign object.
