Patient's question:
The other day, my family had fish for dinner. My child kept insisting on eating it, but ended up choking. Nothing helped, like drinking vinegar, so I rushed to the emergency room of a hospital. The check-up results showed it was a foreign body perforation of the esophagus. A foreign body in the esophagus causing a perforation?Doctor's answer:
After esophageal perforation, it isunable to eat. In patients with esophageal periarteritis or secondary mediastinitis, fever and leukocytosis may occur. When a child swallows a foreign object, the incorrect date is often unclear. Chronic perforation of the esophagus due to foreign objects can delay symptoms for weeks to months. The foreign object corrodes through the esophageal wall, accompanied by a dense fibrotic response around it, or a perforation forms a tracheal or bronchial fistula,fever and persistent cough.
