A two-year-old toddler in San Fabian, Pangasinan province, Northern Philippine region died after accidentally falling into a pot of boiling water.
According to the report of GMA Regional TV’s CJ Torida in Saksi on Monday, the victim’s grandmother recalled that she was boiling water outside their house last Thursday.
“I placed the pot beside our house…I didn’t know that the kids were also playing outside. We suddenly heard someone crying and thought the kids were just quarreling. But it soon sounded like a cry for help,” said Vivian Navarro in Filipino.
“When we checked what happened, we saw my grandson inside the pot and we immediately lifted him from it,” she recounted.
The young victim was immediately rushed to the Region 1 Medical Center in Dagupan City. Unfortunately, he died the following day.
When scalded by boiling water, the Department of Health advises to apply cold compress on the affected area; cover the burn with bandages; take a pain reliever; and seek consultation from a medical professional. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/RF, GMA Integrated News
