Pediatric nasal button battery injuries: a 10-year retrospective study and in vitro evaluation of prehospital mitigation strategies
Alkaline burns from nasal button batteries progress rapidly within 30 min. Household reagents-especially honey, MOH, or glycerin-neutralize pH, inhibit discharge, and attenuate tissue damage. In prehospital settings where immediate care is delayed, early application of honey, MOH, or glycerin is recommended to minimize severe complications.
