"Fever, cough, and breathing difficulty," an LED bulb found in the infant's airway.

A 1.5-year-old girl in a weakened state due to fever, cough, and breathing difficulties. When she was admitted to the hospital, her parents were shocked by what the doctors said. An LED bulb was removed from the infant's airway. The incident took place in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. 

A one-year-old girl accidentally swallowed an LED bulb from a toy remote. The bulb got stuck in her airway. This led to breathing difficulties and a cough, causing the child to soon fall into a weakened state. The family brought the girl to Madurai Government Rajaji Hospital. The examination revealed an obstruction in the airway. A team of respiratory specialists, pediatric surgeons, and anesthetists examined the child, and after a three-hour-long effort, the LED bulb stuck in the airway was finally removed. The bulb was removed through the bronchoscopy procedure. The child's life is not in danger.
