Dad feeds daughter mouth-to-mouth
A man in Zuoquan county has been feeding his 3-year-old daughter mouth-to-mouth for more than 500 days, as she suffers from the rare cardiac failure flaccid disease, Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday. From 2012, the girl started to vomit every day and couldn't eat. The girl is receiving medical treatment in Shanxi Children's Hospital. The disease causes the lower esophageal sphincter muscle to lose its relaxed state so that food gets stuck in the esophagus.
