Russian accidentally swallowed gold teeth in a dream and wore them in the bronchi for two years

In Bashkiria, doctors rescued a man who for two years carried a prosthesis with five golden teeth in the bronchi. This was reported in the Telegram channel by the Minister of Health of the Republic Airat Rakhmatullin.

The patient suffered from a constant cough for a long time. However, he did not turn to specialists, writing off the disease as an age or a cold.

Doctors initially suspected pneumonia. But during the examination, they found a foreign body in the bronchi of a man. It turned out that he lost a denture in his sleep and did not give it any importance. According to the minister, the prosthesis moved along the respiratory tract for about a year.

Doctors using a special loop removed the prosthesis, which was stuck in the lumen of the bronchi on the right. The life and health of a man is not threatened.

MK wrote earlier about another case. In the suburbs, doctors of the children’s clinical center named after L.M. Roshal rescued a girl who swallowed a plastic “diamond” during the game. The foreign body was removed from the stomach with the help of an endoscopic basket - the procedure took about 15 minutes and was successful, the next day the child was discharged home.
