A nail clipper was removed from the throat of an eight-month-old boy, after he swallowed it by accident.
Shocking photos show numerous doctors desperately trying to remove the clippers on Monday September 19 in the Nashik district in Western India.
The small infant swallowed a 5cm nail cutter while he was playing, and was immediately taken to hospital once his parents had noticed.
The child was operated on at the Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College in Adgaon.
X-rays show the 5cm long nail clipper wedged in the boy's throat, almost blocking his entire throat.
Medics removed the object in an hour-long operation, and the child is now recovering after the procedure.
But these types of accidents are not uncommon.
Last year, a mum issued a stark warning after her six-year-old girl had to be rushed to hospital for life-saving surgery after swallowing 23 magnets.
The child had been playing with magnets at school before taking them home to make jewels for a doll in Lewes, Sussex.
Over the course of a few days, she swallowed 23 of the strong magnets which ripped through her bowel.
The NHS surgeon who performed an emergency operation said the magnets were 'potentially fatal'.
The girl's mum, named only as Tanith, said the magnets were shown being used to imitate tongue piercings in TikTok videos.
The family had found more magnets in the little girl's bedroom.
According to the BBC her mum said "I want to warn parents about the dangers of their children playing with magnets.
"I want to reinforce how dangerous these magnets really are."
Tanith said her daughter told her the magnets 'felt nice' in her mouth as she played with them.
The magnets were so strong they clamped together in her intestines after she swallowed them.
She first started having stomach pains on 12 September, and had been vomiting for two days when they took her to see their GP.
When she did not improve they took her to the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital where she was diagnosed with appendicitis.
