Pediatric doctors give the alarm”

Nowadays, we have batteries everywhere, from remote control, to child toys to toothbrushes. According to data from an American study, the number of parents presenting themselves to children who have swallowed batteries has multiplied over the past 20 years, to the extent that such an incident occurs every 90 minutes. Spurging a battery can cause serious damage to life in a short period of time. In the moisturey environment of esophagus or stomach, the battery can release harmful substances that can cause erosion or bleeding. If the battery is stuck in the esophagus, the effects may be fatal in less than two hours. If her parents suspect that a child may have swallowed a battery, she should be rushed to the hospital.

Incidents with batteries are not the only ones who threaten the child's life inside the house. A study was published in the magazine “pediatrics”, under which every four hours in the U.S., a child under 3 appears at the hospital to be treated in his mouth or face for wounds caused by biberon or glasses.

In 86% of the cases, the child has been running with one of these objects in his mouth. Two thirds of the cases are children about 1 years of age who have just learned to take their first steps. Experts suggest that to avoid such incidents, children should be explained that they should not move when they speak of such items. This would prevent 80% of such incidents to the tune.
