A two-year-old baby boy was successfully treated by doctors in Pune after accidentally ingesting acetic acid, a corrosive household cleaning chemical that caused severe burns to his mouth, food pipe, chest, genitals and groin. 
 
It all happened on this Children’s Day, when the two-year-old boy from Satara, met a life-threatening emergency when he accidentally ingested acetic acid, turning an ordinary day for his family into a nightmare within minutes. The corrosive liquid stored in a drinking water bottle burned his lips, oral cavity and food pipe and left painful chemical injuries on his chest and groin. 

As the child gasped for breath, crying in severe pain, his frightened parents watched helplessly, unable to understand what was happening or how their playful toddler had suddenly slipped into danger. 
 
He was immediately taken to a hospital in Satara, where Dr Ghorpade recognised the severity of the situation. Understanding that every minute mattered, he stabilised the toddler and urgently arranged a referral for higher-level pediatric care.
