New Delhi: In what turned out to be a hilarious incident, a British woman rushed her baby to the ER thinking he had a ‘hole’ in his mouth.
Becky Stiles, 24, from Essex noticed a dark circle on the roof of her 10-month-old son Harvey's mouth and started panicking. She told The Sun, "I tried to touch it but he just screamed at me, so I made his dad rush over and see it."
She added, "I’m shaking, sweating and holding back the tears. We put a torch on it and his dad said, ‘What the hell is that?’"
On her father’s advice, Becky then took her son to get medical treatment. When a nurse at the hospital managed to take a closer look at the "hole", Becky realised it was actually a sticker.
"One nurse said let me just get my pen torch and have a look.”
“After about 30 seconds of looking she said 'That's a sticker'. Me being an idiot told her, ‘No look that's a hole’,” Becky recalled.
“She put her finger in his mouth and hooked it out. I laughed, was shaking and so embarrassed,” she confessed.
While Becky was left red-faced, the medical team found the situation hilarious.
“We all carried on laughing as we made the walk of shame back to the car."
