A two-year-old child was urgently hospitalized in the children's clinical hospital of the Osh region after swallowing 17 magnetic elements that were part of a toy. This was reported by the medical staff of the institution.

Doctors stated that for three days the child suffered from constant vomiting. Upon visiting the district hospital, an X-ray examination confirmed the presence of several foreign bodies located in the intestines in a chain formation, which led to his transfer to the regional clinic.

After that, surgeons performed an urgent operation during which all the magnets were successfully removed. Currently, the child's condition is stable, and he remains under medical supervision receiving necessary treatment.

Experts warn that magnetic toys can be extremely dangerous for children. If several magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other in the gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to serious complications and the need for surgical intervention.
