Mother went to the other room only then…
The mother told that the mouth of the washing machine was open and the child remained in it for about 15 minutes. She had gone out of the room at that time and when she returned, she was nowhere to be seen. Some time was spent searching for the child. The mother says that the child might have fallen into the machine while sitting on the chair. Dr. Nagpal said that the time must have been less than 15 minutes because he would not have been able to survive for that long. The doctor said that even then it was a miracle that he survived.
multiple organ failure
Consultant Dr. Himanshi Joshi said that at the time the child was brought, his health was very bad. He told that many of his organs were not working properly due to the soapy water. There was a problem in the lungs because he had chemical pneumonitis. This condition occurs when such a dangerous substance goes into a person’s body which is dangerous or toxic to the lungs.
The children had developed bacterial pneumonia after many types of chemicals entered the body. He also had a gastrointestinal infection. Dr. Joshi said that the child was immediately given the necessary antibiotics and IV fluid support. After this, there was a slight improvement in his health. Slowly the child started recognizing the mother. He was later taken off the ventilator. The patient remained in the ICU for seven days. He was later shifted to the ward, where he remained for 12 days. Doctors said that CT brain was done to know if there was any neurologic problem. It is a matter of relief that there is no damage to the child’s brain.
