In Tay Ninh , an 8-year-old girl was stung nearly 20 times by bumblebees while playing in the fields with her family, leading to severe anaphylactic shock and putting her in critical condition.
On June 21st, representatives from Xuyen A General Hospital in Tay Ninh reported that the child was admitted with eyelid swelling, fever, extreme fatigue, and difficulty breathing, with nearly 20 swollen spots on the body.
The family reported that after being stung by a bee, the child developed a rash all over their body, had difficulty breathing, and fainted, before being taken to a nearby health station. However, the child's condition deteriorated, their blood pressure dropped, and they were transferred to Xuyen A General Hospital in Tay Ninh.
Here, test results showed that the child had severe anaphylactic shock, and doctors provided intensive resuscitation. After one day, her vital signs stabilized, and her fatigue and shortness of breath decreased. Currently, the girl's health is stable and she has been discharged from the hospital.
Dr. Huynh Trung Hieu, a pediatrician, said that recently, the hospital has been receiving many cases of children being stung by bees, with some in critical condition. Currently, summer is the time when bees return to gardens to build nests and forage for food, and it is also when children are on school holidays and often play in gardens and fields. Therefore, parents need to be careful not to let children play or accidentally disturb beehives, as there is a risk of being stung.
Anaphylactic shock can occur at any time and has extremely dangerous consequences if not treated promptly. Therefore, as soon as a child is found to have been stung by a bee, the victim should be quickly moved to a safe area. Take the child to the hospital if any of the following signs appear: multiple stings, fever, fatigue, difficulty breathing, rash, redness of the skin, or dizziness.
