I am searching for the management of a patient with ingestion of a firecracker.
I received one on my last on-call, Patient was a 5-year-old boy, vitally stable, who ingested a Firecracker 7 hours back and was having to complain of vomiting ...
I gave him I.V. fluids and admitted him for observation, the patient suddenly collapsed later that night, and I'm trying to find out the reason for such a fast collapse. Phosphorous is a killer, but death after ingestion of a firecracker within 24 hours is not getting in my head.
