Doctors at the National Children's Hospital have just received emergency treatment and saved the lives of two cases of severe poisoning due to mistakenly taking medicine and chemicals.
The case of rat poison poisoning is a 13-year-old male patient in Hanoi .
Through investigation, this patient had a history of depression and suicidal thoughts. Before being admitted to the emergency room, the patient had taken two tubes of rat poison of unknown origin that he had ordered online.
After taking 2 tubes of the medicine, the child vomited a lot, felt dizzy, and had convulsions all over his body. His family discovered it in time and took him to the emergency room. At the National Children's Hospital, the child was diagnosed with poisoning from the rat poison Sodium Fluoroacetate and doctors actively resuscitated him, prevented respiratory failure, stopped seizures, and replenished electrolytes.
Up to now, after 20 days of treatment, this child's health has stabilized.
The second patient is a 3-year-old girl named HT from Ha Nam , who was hospitalized after mistakenly eating 7/14 weight loss pills that her sister bought online but did not take them. The ingredients, label, and origin of this medicine are unknown and are being sold freely on the internet.
Through the above two cases, the National Children's Hospital recommends that families with young children should keep medicines and toxic chemicals out of reach of children, preferably in hidden places where children have little chance of contact; do not store chemicals in drinking water bottles, bottles with eye-catching colors that attract children's attention, to avoid confusion...
