Safety Awareness Tip

Ingestion of Foriegn Bodies

Children often put things in their mouths. This can be very dangerous as a child can choke if the item blocks the small airway or the child could be poisoned. Ingestion is when a foreign body is swallowed and goes into the gullet or stomach. Sometimes an item ingested will pass through the child's digestive system. Other times the item will need to be removed surgically.
