Pediatric Esophageal Injury: A 6-year-old girl accidentally licked acidic bathroom cleaner, which caused her food pipe to shrink and left her unable to eat properly for 6 months. Know what the doctor said in this matter
When the 6 year old girl lost about 6 kg of weight in 6 months, the concern of the family members increased. The girl was refusing to eat food for a long time. Whenever the family members would feed her food, she would vomit. Gradually, when the problem increased, his parents took him to the doctor. When the doctor checked, he found that there was some problem in the food pipe. After the report came, it was found that the child’s food pipe had shrunk from the middle, due to which food was not able to enter the body. Children’s doctor Imran Patel shared the video on social media and explained how the child’s food pipe shrunk and also appealed to the parents to be careful.
The girl had licked the acidic bathroom cleaner
Doctor Imran tells that the girl had licked a little acidic bathroom cleaner powder kept in the house about 6 months ago. Immediately after finding out, the family took the girl to the hospital, where she was made to vomit and immediate treatment was also given. But due to being too acidic, the child’s food pipe shrank. This problem could not be treated. Due to this reason the girl continues to face problems.
Due to contraction of the food pipe, the food gets stuck near the throat and then the child vomits. Due to not eating properly, the girl’s weight also decreased rapidly. Doctors say that it will be treated in multiple procedures so that the child eats properly and does not have any problems.

Keep dangerous things out of reach of children
Doctor Imran says that parents should take care to keep dangerous things away from the reach of children. Children have more curiosity to know everything. If anything dangerous comes in contact with them, they will touch it and maybe even eat it. In such a situation, you need to pay a lot of attention. One mistake of yours can even take the life of the child.
