A Life-Threatening Moment, Handled With Expert Care!
When a curious 2-year-old swallowed a AAA battery, every second became critical. Batteries lodged inside the body can cause severe internal burns and tissue damage within hours—making immediate medical attention absolutely vital.
Thanks to the swift action and expertise of Dr. Rajkali R and his dedicated Pediatric Gastroenterology team at Rela Hospital, the battery was safely removed through emergency endoscopy with no injury. The child recovered fully and was discharged within 24 hours.
Parents, please remember:
Keep all batteries well out of children’s reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
If you suspect your child has swallowed a battery, seek emergency care immediately—do not induce vomiting or give any food or drink.
Early expert intervention can save lives and prevent serious complications.
At Rela Hospital, we prioritize your child’s health with rapid diagnosis and compassionate, skilled care—always ready to act when every second counts.

Watch Out for Microsleep!
Microsleep is when your brain “checks out” for a few seconds, even though your eyes stay open. This can happen if you’re sleep deprived and is extremely risky, especially while driving.
Get at least 7 hours of quality sleep before you hit the road to stay alert and safe.
