In what appeared to be a COVID-19 scare, a two-year-old boy from Dhule developed fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing and his parents rushed him to KEM hospital on Sunday. However, it turned out that he had inhaled a peanut that got stuck in his airway. The doctors from the hospital’s ENT department successfully removed it on Wednesday.

According to a Times of India report, the parents of the toddler named Dhairya were not aware that he had inhaled a peanut. They found out when the doctor treating the child in Dhule spotted a foreign body in the airway after his X-ray.
