Foreign Body Ingestion

Two cases of children in life-threatening danger who arrived at the HaEmek Medical Center (Clalit Group) in the last two weeks ended in a miracle. Doctors warn: "These are innocent-looking objects that can cause severe damage and even endanger life."

HaEmek Medical Center treated two life-threatening cases in the past two weeks. A 4-year-old boy swallowed a button battery, and a 5-year-old girl swallowed 16 magnets. Doctors warn that these innocent-looking objects can cause severe internal damage and urge parents to seek immediate medical attention if ingestion is suspected.
