Conservative management of button battery ingestion using honey in a paediatric patient
Nigerian journal of medicine : journal of the National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria(2022)
Abstract
Button battery ingestion is a form of foreign-body ingestion usually seen among children. Its ingestion could be symptom free and sometimes fatal. The interval between swallowing and final destination of the button battery has some clinical importance to its management. This is a case report of an eight-year-old boy, who ingested a 25 mm-sized button battery which was detected in the lower esophagus by a plain X-ray, managed conservatively with honey, and was later passed out of stool after 36 h.
