It took six years, 13 surgeries and 15 other small procedures to enable 12-year-old Prem to eat and speak again. The boy, who had accidentally consumed bleaching power in 2008, had suffered severe damage to his mouth, throat, food pipe and stomach. The boy, a native of Rajasthan and a resident of the city, was just five-and-a-half-years old when he swallowed the chemical, mistaking it for glucose. He was taken to the Institute of Child Health, Egmore, and then referred to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (GH). "He was experiencing coughing, vomiting, episodes of choking, and could not eat and speak. His weight had reduced from 22 kg to 10 kg," Prem underwent a procedure for the complete reconstruction of the food pipe and stomach, using part of the large intestine. After he was put on feed through a tube, he developed an obstruction in the small intestine and went under the knife again. There was no respite from complications. He developed a lung infection and missed follow-up for 11 months in 2010. However, he managed to put on weight. But for the most part of the last six years, Prem was fed through tubes. It was only after a tracheostomy was done in 2013 that Prem started to gain confidence in eating and swallowing. The boy started to eat and speak. He now weighs 25 kg and is being home-schooled. We will remove the feeding tube and the tracheostomy tube. In 2008, the accidental ingestion caused severe damage to the now 12-year-old's mouth, throat, food pipe and stomach.
