The baby cried nonstop, and when the mother saw what was in his mouth, she immediately ran to the doctor: now she’s warning other parents 😢😨

The baby cried nonstop for several hours, and the crying gradually ceased to be just a whim. At first, the mother thought it was a stomach ache, teething, or hunger. But the more time passed, the more she realized it was no ordinary cry.

The baby had been crying for almost four hours straight. His face turned red, his breathing became labored, and his voice became hoarse. The mother checked his temperature, changed his clothes, examined his body, wondering if there might be scratches or other wounds. She rocked him, carried him around the room, and played white noise. Nothing helped.

When the baby inhaled sharply and opened his mouth wide while crying, the mother peered inside and saw a dark spot on the roof of his mouth. It looked frightening, like a hole or a terrifying growth. At that moment, everything inside her went cold. Her thoughts immediately became the most terrifying.

The mother didn’t wait a minute.

She grabbed the child and drove to the hospital, not even thinking about how she looked or what they would say. In the emergency room, she barely explained what was happening because her hands were shaking and her voice was breaking.

They were quickly led into the examination room. The child continued to scream, almost exhausted. The mother paced the room, feeling guilt rising. She felt as if she’d missed something, that she’d overlooked something, that it was her fault.

A doctor entered the office. He calmly put on gloves, turned on a headlamp, and asked her to hold the child tighter. The light fell directly into the child’s mouth. The doctor gently pressed the tongue with a spatula and peered closely. His face turned serious, and the mother could barely stand.

The doctor took a pair of tweezers and carefully lifted the dark spot. A minute later, when the doctor explained what exactly had caused the child’s hysterical crying, the mother was horrified.

Now she’s warning other parents to be careful, because this could happen to anyone 😢😱

A second later, a soggy piece of a toy sticker was lodged in the instrument. It had stuck to the roof of the mouth, swollen with saliva, and looked like a terrible wound.

Apparently, the child, exploring the world as all children do, had stuck the toy in his mouth, and the sticker had somehow gotten inside.

As soon as the paper was removed, the child fell silent. He took a deep breath and pressed himself against his mother. The screaming stopped as suddenly as it had begun.

The mother felt both relief and shame. She felt like she’d caused a panic over a trivial matter. But the doctor calmly said that it was better to come back one more time than to miss a real danger.

He added that the mother had done the right thing because she saw that the child was in pain.

At home, she went through all the toys and removed the stickers. From that day on, she became more attentive to details, but no longer felt ashamed of her fear. That evening, she realized that her anxiety wasn’t weakness, but concern.
