Peanut Lodged in Baby's Airway, Cutting Off Lung Air Supply; Doctors Save Life

  • A one-year-old baby in Faridabad developed severe breathing issues due to a peanut lodged in his airway, completely blocking air supply to the lungs.
  • The baby had a persistent cough for a week and was initially treated elsewhere before being brought to Amrita Hospital with low oxygen levels.
  • Doctors at Amrita Hospital successfully removed the peanut, preventing a collapsed lung, severe infection, or life-threatening oxygen shortage.
  • The baby's oxygen levels improved rapidly, and he was discharged the following day, with his father crediting doctors for saving his child's life.
  • Amrita Hospital also reported another case where an eight-month-old baby had a foreign object causing low oxygen, requiring ICU care due to swelling.

Why It Matters: Doctors at Amrita Hospital saved a baby's life by removing a peanut blocking his airway.
