SHANGHAI doctors are warning parents against unexpected accidents that might happen to their children who are on winter holidays.
The Shanghai Children's Hospital said today it recently saved the life of a 2-year-old boy whose throat and chest were impaled by a chopstick he put in the mouth while playing with another kid.
Though the chopstick was removed in time, it already caused serious injuries and infection. Doctors found the boy's neck was swollen when he was brought in and he had difficulty breathing.
The boy recovered after emergency surgery and intensive care. He was discharged from the hospital this week.
The doctors also urged parents to pay attention to the hygiene and diet of their children and prevent them from going to crowded places.
