Currently, patient H.'s health is stable and continues to be monitored.
According to Dr. Phan Xuan Nam, due to the sharp nature of the nail head, if not removed promptly, the nail can cause damage such as puncturing the intestinal wall, stomach, and can even cause holes in many places where the nail passes through.
At the same time, families with small children are advised to be careful when playing and should not let them play with small objects that are easy for children to swallow and can cause very unfortunate consequences. If you suspect that your child has swallowed a foreign object, take the child to a medical facility immediately.
