Yellandu (Khammam): In a bizarre incident, a four-year-old boy choked to death after a tablet got stuck in his throat. The incident occurred at Yellandu in Khammam district on Friday morning. The victim has been identified as G Pradeep, son of Pavani and Augustine, residents of the town.
According to reports, Pradeep was suffering from fever for the last couple of days. The doctor prescribed syrup when the parents took their ward to government hospital. As fever persisted, the boy was administered a tablet by his mother in the early hours. However, the mother’s decision to administer a tablet despite the availability of syrup in the house turned tragic for the boy. The boy immediately started choking due to breathlessness as the tablet got stuck in his throat blocking the respiratory tract. He was immediately rushed to a private hospital. However, the boy breathed his last before he got the medical attention.
