Chinese girl swallows 50g gold bar
A five-year-old Chinese girl swallowed a gold bar while playing at her home. The bar is estimated to weigh 50 grams and is about five centimeters long. She was then transferred to a children's hospital in Beijing, where X-rays showed that the bar remained stable inside her stomach six hours after ingestion. Doctors were able to extract the bar using a specialized endoscope without causing injury to the girl, and she recovered well. Medical professionals warn of the dangers posed by solid objects that children swallow, as they can cause scratches, bleeding, or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. They emphasize the importance of seeking immediate medical attention and avoiding traditional or folk remedies.
