Default A 7-year-old boy is in the hospital because of Apple AirPods: Here’s why

A seven-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital after he*accidentally swallowed an Apple Airpod.*Kiara Stroud, the boy’s mother, has gifted her son a pair of Apple Airpods, which was a Christmas gift. The boy was immediately taken to a hospital in the US after he accidentally swallowed one of the AirPods.

At Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, an X-ray image showed the Airpod resting peacefully inside the boy’s stomach.*Doctors told the boy’s mother that they will not attempt any procedure as the gadget will pass through on its own after a few days.

Notably, the boy didn’t suffer an injury or illness after swallowing the Apple AirPod.*As crazy as it sounds, one can appreciate*Apple*for the quality of its products. Having said that, the situation could have gone worse, as these come with an inbuilt battery and could have exploded in his stomach. Apple AirPods are not waterproof and the company advises users to keep it away from the liquids.

He is now at his home and doing fine now.*“Today, we didn’t yell at him, didn’t curse, didn’t ask why, didn’t tell him he was too old, didn’t shame him, and didn’t make the situation worse. He already felt bad. He was scared and nervous.

“We let him know that everything was going to be okay, stayed calm, and it helped him to relax so that the doctors could do their jobs,” Stroud posted on Facebook. Thanks for all of the prayers,” she added. It is worth noting that this is not the first time that someone has swallowed an Apple AirPod. In May 2019, it was reported that a Taiwanese man accidentally swallowed one of the Apple AirPods while he was asleep.

He was then unable to find one of them when he woke up. Doctors gave him a laxative and told him to inspect his waste for any sign of the device. And thankfully for him, the AirPod was eliminated from his body, and to everyone’s surprise, it was still working with 41 percent battery left.
