(Boy Dies After Banana Gets Stuck in Throat) : A heart-wrenching incident has occurred in the state of Tamil Nadu. A five-year-old boy died after a piece of banana got stuck in his throat while eating. He suddenly started having difficulty breathing as his airway was blocked. He was rushed to the hospital immediately, but he died before reaching there. Doctors declared him dead after examination.

What exactly is the incident?

This incident occurred in the Annai Sathy Nagar area of Erode district. Manikkam's son Saisharan was eating a banana at home when a piece suddenly got stuck in his windpipe. Breathing became difficult, causing panic among the family members. With the help of neighbors, the boy was taken to a private hospital. As the condition was extremely critical, he was being moved to the district hospital when he died on the way. It is said that he breathed his last in his mother's arms. Kurunglapalayam police have registered the case and started an investigation.

Family Situation and Moment of Accident

Saisharan's parents make a living by working as laborers. Since both are out of the house for work all day, the children stay with their grandmother. On Tuesday night, the grandmother gave him a banana to eat. But a piece went directly into the windpipe, causing a choking sound. The family immediately rushed him for treatment, but due to not receiving proper treatment in time, he could not be saved. Doctors believe that if primary treatment had been received on time, the boy could have survived.

Doctor's advice on giving fruits to young children

According to doctors, it is essential to give fruits to little ones by cutting them into small pieces. Additionally, if a piece gets stuck in someone's throat, gently pat their back to help dislodge the stuck item. Getting immediate help in such situations is very important.
