00:00 In Caobian Islands, Lapulapu City, Cebu, a 4-year-old boy was found with a 5-peso bill
00:07 that had fallen on his face.
00:09 According to the GMA's regional TV, his mother gave the boy 5 pesos.
00:16 Until he noticed that he was coughing.
00:20 They thought that it was because of the jelly that the boy ate.
00:25 He continued coughing and his face was painful.
00:28 When they brought him to the hospital and did an X-ray,
00:32 the jelly that was in his face came out.
00:36 According to the mother, her son needs to undergo an operation
00:42 to remove the jelly that was in his face.
00:45 According to the eyes, ears, nose and throat, or EENT specialist,
00:52 Dr. Janina Escalderon,
00:54 it is dangerous if foreign objects or anything else comes in our vicinity.
00:59 If he is exposed to foreign objects, we will have allergic reactions
01:05 such as rashes, erythema or itchiness all over the body.
01:09 So ingesting a coin is not that life threatening.
01:13 Not unless it is in the air and it is hard for the patient to breathe.
01:17 The good thing about coins is that it is not made of nickel.
01:21 Nickel is one of the substances that we don't want to touch because it is corrosive.
01:26 The patient may feel chest pain, fever or shortness of breath.
01:33 If that happens, it means that one of the things that the patient touched was sharp.
01:40 The esophagus may have been perforated and we call that mediastinitis.
01:46 These are life threatening conditions and the patient really needs to be admitted.
01:51 But what should be done if a coin is accidentally dropped?
01:56 If I can't breathe, I go straight to the hospital.
02:00 I remember my nephew who was also dropped like that.
02:03 He was given milk and then they took him straight to the hospital.
02:07 I tried eating a banana.
02:08 It is solid and it might be carried.
02:10 It might be pushed down and it might get dirty.
02:14 If I can't eat a banana, I will go to the doctor.
02:18 I will scream.
02:21 I will also ask for help and then I will go to the hospital.
02:27 I will ask for help but if there is no help,
02:29 maybe the initial reaction is to force him to sit until he leaves.
02:33 If he can do it.
02:35 Maybe, sir, I will ask for help from the doctor.
02:37 Because I want to know what the situation inside is.
02:41 What can be done.
02:44 To guide us in this accident, we got you!
02:48 This is the first solution according to the doctor.
02:52 First, examine the patient's breathing.
02:54 This will help us know if the coin or other foreign body is in the lungs.
03:00 Is it hard to breathe?
03:02 Because those signs will help us to know where the foreign body or the coin is really lodged.
03:08 If the patient's breathing is bad, like if there is a sound, we call it a stridor.
03:14 It means it is in the airway.
03:18 If the patient is coughing, it means it is probably in the esophagus.
03:28 It is important to remember,
03:30 do not let the patient eat or drink when there is a foreign body in the lungs.
03:36 This will help to avoid the foreign body to enter the stator.
03:40 Do not let the patient eat or drink anything.
03:44 Because this can push down the foreign body in a worse place.
03:50 So, let's wait for the patient to stabilize.
03:54 Do not let him lie down, let him sit first.
03:56 If the patient experienced a stator, do the Heimlich maneuver immediately.
04:04 The best way is to recall as much as possible.
04:08 Try to recall what substance he drank or ate.
04:12 And then the second, the first aid, the Heimlich maneuver.
04:16 In the middle, you will put your right hand straight.
04:21 As the patient, you will push a little harder.
04:26 Until the patient becomes comfortable.
04:31 But doc, what if the patient happens to be alone?
04:35 If you experienced choking and you are alone,
04:41 it is important to know the self Heimlich maneuver.
04:44 So, you will get a big object in front of you.
04:47 Lean towards it and then push as if you are putting full effort
04:53 to really get the foreign object that is dislodged out of our mouth.
04:58 So, it's strong. Then, when the object is removed, we are okay.
05:03 And for babies with a broken bone, this is what you should remember.
05:10 Mommies and Daddies.
05:13 If you have a bone that is split, what you will do is,
05:18 the bone is lying down, so the face is facing the spine.
05:22 Hold it here below and gently tap, tap, tap.
05:28 So that the object that is obstructed will come out of the passage of food.
05:33 Doc still advises, if not sure, to immediately run the patient to the nearest hospital.
05:42 So, in times that, let's say, the foreign body is drowned
05:47 and we don't know or we didn't witness what the foreign body is.
05:51 We should immediately rush to the nearest emergency room.
05:54 And last reminder, be careful of the objects you will try, especially the babies.
05:59 Make sure that all small substances are not readily accessible to our baby.
06:05 Remember, the airway of our baby is just as big as the finger or our pinky finger.
06:11 So, if you think that the substance is bigger than your pinky finger,
06:16 don't give it to our baby.
06:20 It is important to be aware, dear ones, especially in matters of safety and health.
06:26 Know the Monday to be always ready, at any time.
