Zhejiang mother saves child after button battery ingestion

In Zhejiang, China, a mother successfully used honey to mitigate the danger after her three-year-old son swallowed a button battery. The incident occurred when the child dismantled an ear cleaning device left on a table.

Despite initial skepticism from other family members who believed the small battery would pass naturally, the mother administered a spoonful of thick honey to the child before rushing him to the hospital. Medical imaging confirmed the battery was lodged in the child's esophagus. Doctors were able to successfully remove the foreign object via endoscopy, praising the mother's quick thinking in preventing severe chemical burns or internal damage.
