Sawang Boriboon foundation paramedics rushed a two year old boy they picked up from Bali Hai Pier, south Pattaya to Banglamung hospital for an immediate removal of a bullet from his nose.
His mother who has a food outlet stall on Koh Larn Island said she was busy cooking food for customers when her son walked up to her and told her that something was stuck in his nose.
The boy’s anxious mother explains to paramedics about the ball that is lodged in her son’s nose.
She was shocked to see a round shaped tiny ball embedded up his nostril, then the matter got worse as the boy inhaled, which drew the ball deeper into his nasal cavity, which made it difficult for him to breathe normally.
Island officials rushed the boy to Pattaya shore and contacted the life saving unit to take him to hospital.
At the Banglamung hospital the boy was scared of the tube that doctors wanted to insert into his nose so he had to be sedated so that they could safely remove the ball which turned out to be an air-gun bullet.
