9-year-old girl cries “Mom! I have something in my ear!” Doctor uses tools to remove it and is shocked
9-year-old girl cries out, “Mom! I have something in my ear!” At first, she thought it was a joke. The second time, her mother rushed her to the doctor. When she saw what was in her ear, the doctor was shocked.
Taiwanese pediatrician Wu Han Meng tells of a nine-year-old girl who said, “Mom, I have something in my ear.” When she used a tool to pull it out, she found a half-centimeter sponge, which shocked her. She advises parents to warn their children not to put anything into any hole in their body.
Taiwanese pediatrician Wu Han Meng posted on Facebook “About the child” on the 24th that when treating children, he often checks their ears. Because he has been a pediatrician for many years, he has found earwax and many foreign objects, including ladybugs and cockroaches. Sometimes he also finds strange things, such as fragrant beans and small toys.
“But this time I was really shocked,” said Dr. Wu Han Meng, who brought the 9-year-old girl to see a doctor. The mother said her daughter had previously said there was something in her left ear, but she did not have any ear pain or hearing loss.
When the mother heard this, she just smiled and looked away. Because it sounded like her daughter was joking, so she didn’t take her to see a doctor right away. However, in the past few days, her daughter mentioned this ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี again, so the mother decided to check it herself. Even though she didn’t have the right equipment. She saw something inside her ear that looked swollen, so she decided to take her to see a doctor.
Doctor Wu Han Meng said that after checking. He found that the left ear canal was smaller in comparison, but the eardrum could still be seen. The swelling was very deep, so he used small tweezers to gently pick it up. “Hey! It seems flexible?” Then he used a clamp to pull it out. It was a half-centimeter foam ball with earwax stuck in it.
Doctor Wu Han Meng said that he checked the ear canal again. Fortunately, there were no wounds, swelling or inflammation. He then asked the girl, “Do you remember when you put it in?” The girl replied, “I didn’t put it in myself! But I remember seeing a foam ball like this last year…”
Doctor Wu Han Meng thought to himself, “If it wasn’t the child who put it in, then who put it in? Or maybe it went in by accident?” He felt that this matter might be unanswerable. But he admired the mother who didn’t blame her daughter. After seeing the foreign object and still believed in her words. If the mother didn’t believe it and let it go, it might end up causing harm.
Dr. Wu Han Meng said that children should be warned not to insert anything into their body channels. If children say that there is a foreign object in their body, parents should be calm and listen to what they say first.
