According to Jiangsu Public News Channel "News Space Station": When eating, if a foreign object is accidentally stuck in the throat, some people will think of forcibly swallowing it with food, or drinking vinegar to soften it, but these "earth methods" really rely on spectrum? Recently, a man from Suqian used the "earth method" after being stuck in his throat by a foreign object, but was admitted to the hospital.
Liu Jianing, chief physician of the Gastroenterology Department of Suqian Hospital of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group, said that a middle-aged man in his 50s was admitted to the endoscopy room. When the patient came, he said that there was a foreign body in the esophagus or stomach, and he was drinking porridge. At that time, I swallowed this foreign body, and I took measures to swallow it with steamed bread.
Then, after swallowing the steamed buns, the man still felt unbearable pain in his esophagus and stomach, so he chose to seek medical attention. The outpatient doctor performed a CT examination of his upper abdomen at that time, and found a metal-like foreign body in the stomach. This metal is about this size and has a gear-like edge. When the doctor
performed the foreign body removal operation, he found that the metal object was actually a beer bottle cap. If it is not removed in time, it may be dangerous.
Liu Jianing said that because the lid of the beer bottle is relatively large, it is difficult to enter the intestine, so in general, it still has some damage to the stomach. Through the joint efforts of several doctors, nursing staff, and anesthesiologist , it took about ten minutes to successfully remove the foreign body from the stomach.
Fortunately, the man sought medical treatment in time, and there is no danger after treatment. Later, it was learned that the man may not have noticed that the cap of the beer bottle fell into the bowl when he was drinking porridge, which caused the accident.
Liu Jianing said that some people think that drinking vinegar will soften the bones or fishbone stuck in the throat, and then swallow it, and some people like to eat some rice or hard things and swallow it hard, these are not advisable This method can easily lead to injury or bleeding of the esophagus, possibly perforation, and foreign body damage to the blood vessels and heart. This time is more troublesome and may be life-threatening. Doctor
reminded that if a foreign body stuck in the throat, you should seek medical attention in time and handle it scientifically to avoid causing more harm.
