A one-month-old girl was admitted to the pediatric emergency room by her family after accidentally given three drops of wart medication (5-fluorosil and salicylic acid) instead of vitamin D. The general condition was moderate, restless, and hyperemic areas were present on the lips and oropharynx. Other system examinations were natural. A second degree esophageal burn was detected in the endoscopy performed within the first 24 hours. Proton pump inhibitor and intravenous fluid was given. The patient whose treatment was completed, was discharged with oral sucralfate and proton pump inhibitor treatments. She is still on follow-up without any complications.
Endoscopic evaluation should be done within the first 24 hours following accidentally given corrosive substance to children. If there is hemorrhage, erosion, pale-atrophic mucosa and necrosis in the gastric mucosa in the endoscopic findings, the patient should be followed closely for perforation. In this way, complications can be prevented and mortality rates can be reduced. Families should also be trained on paying attention to the names and contents of the drugs given to children.
