Dana Zermon recounts frightening incident involving her toddler daughter

Influencer and businesswoman Dana Zermon shared with her followers on social media a particularly stressful and frightening incident she experienced with her young daughter, Ori, who is two years old. During the evening, Zermon discovered that a foreign object had become stuck in the toddler’s nose, leading to a nerve-racking domestic drama. "I wanted to call an ambulance," Zermon candidly described the first moments of panic, when she struggled to stay calm: "Screams of terror. I discovered that I am not a very cool mom. I wanted to call an ambulance and ran from place to place. My husband Guy was terrified, but he was firing instructions at me as if, in a previous life, he had been a doctor in emergency medicine."

In the end, the two managed to work together as a team in the critical moment. While her husband held the toddler tightly to prevent her from moving and putting herself at risk, Zermon improvised, took tweezers and gently removed the foreign body from the nose. "It’s lucky I caught it in time and didn’t ignore her discomfort," she shared with relief. After the upsetting experience, Zermon used the platform to convey an urgent, potentially life-saving message to other parents: pay attention to any change in behavior or complaint of discomfort from a child. Zermon urged her followers: "I beg you to learn from our terrible incident and pay attention to anything that seems 'normal and safe,' no matter how ordinary it may seem, with your children."

On Thursday morning, she had already posted a reassuring and smiling story showing her little daughter walking around the house full of energy. "The girl woke up as if nothing had happened during the night," the relieved mother wrote, "and I feel like I lost years of my life."
