Parents Dumbfounded When Doctors Pull A Feather Protruding From Their Baby’s Neck

Mya Whittington’s parents, Emma and Aaron, rushed her to hospital when they saw a lump growing on their 7-month-old child’s neck and she had developed a high fever and infection. Doctors thought it was a swollen gland and sent her home, but when Emma and Aaron noticed an unexplained protrusion sticking out of the lump the next morning they raced her back to emergency.

Doctors and parents were in for a huge shock.

A doctor looked closer and identified it as the end of a feather and ended up removing the 2-inch feather from the baby’s neck. Yes, a feather!

How on earth did this little girl sprout a feather? Aaron told KWCH that doctors believe she put the feather in her mouth, and it got stuck in her throat. Her body then tried to eject the foreign body through her neck.


Thankfully, the infection was dealt with and Mya’s back to being a happy baby and her parents are greatly relieved!

I’m so glad that Mya is okay and out of pain after such a strange, freaky accident!
