A child from Serbia experienced hell in Greece: Before the accident, the mother did ONE THING and saved the boy

A family from Serbia experienced a terrifying incident while vacationing in Greece when their child was stung by a venomous 'dragon fish' or 'drakena' while swimming in the shallows. The father shared detailed accounts of the ordeal on Facebook, describing how his son suffered severe pain and swelling after being bitten. He emphasized the importance of wearing water shoes and seeking medical attention immediately. Fortunately, the mother had previously given her son an allergy medication, which helped alleviate some symptoms. The father provided first aid using hot water, which reduced the effects of the toxin. Although the child recovered, the experience was described as extremely distressing. Experts warn that this type of fish, known for its sharp spines and potent venom, becomes more common in shallow waters during summer, making it difficult to spot. Medical professionals advise immediate treatment due to the risk of serious complications such as skin necrosis and respiratory difficulties.
