A 4-year-old girl in the UK almost died after accidentally swallowing a button battery from a toy glowing ring while playing at a playground. Fortunately, healthcare professionals guided her to consume 10 milliliters of honey every 10 minutes, which helped prevent damage to her stomach and successfully expelled the battery the next day. The honey's viscosity forms a barrier on the stomach lining and neutralizes the alkaline substances released by the battery. Parents are reminded to be vigilant in supervising children playing with toys to avoid such incidents.
