A 13-year-old boy landed in Juhu’s Cooper Hospital straight from his school due to continuous coughing around Friday [March 6] afternoon. After the X-ray report, doctors confirmed the presence of a foreign object near his lungs.
 
The boy had accidentally swallowed a pushpin after hiding it in his mouth. He hid it in order to avoid being caught by his teacher while he was play pricking with his classmates.
