Be careful when taking medicine, avoid swallowing the medicine shell.

This is an accident that can happen to anyone, especially when taking medicine in a state of lack of concentration or in a hurry. Therefore, people should be very careful, check each pill carefully before using, and avoid taking medicine while doing other things.

If you accidentally swallow a foreign object or experience unusual symptoms such as pain, difficulty swallowing or a feeling of choking in the neck, you should not try to eat/drink to push the foreign object down, to avoid making it difficult to remove the foreign object. You need to quickly go to a medical facility for timely emergency care to avoid the risk of serious complications such as esophageal perforation or infection, esophageal abscess, which can be life-threatening.

Most recently, the hospital's doctors successfully performed an emergency esophagoscopy to remove a foreign object, a medicine shell, stuck in the esophagus of patient D.HM (37 years old, living in Bien Hoa city).
