Doctor’s appeal to parents
The team of doctors of Purnia Government Medical College Hospital has appealed to the parents i.e. the guardians of the children. They have said that do not give small toys to small children to play with. When teeth are about to appear, children like to chew something or the other in their mouth all the time. If given small toys, children can swallow them. Keep pins, clips, sharp objects, pesticides, poisonous and flammable substances, hair clips, pen batteries and small toys away from small children. Keep a close eye on small children.
