Jesada Chokedamrongsuk, a doctor from the Thai Ministry of Health , said the rescue of 12 boys and their coach trapped in a cave complex since June 23 began Sunday. that two boys in the first group to be released, which he said were between 14 and 16 years old, showed signs of pneumonia, and all had low body temperatures when they arrived at the hospital.
After 9 days without eating, the diet was reintroduced gradually to avoid complications. Already in the hospital, despite requests for other foods, boys have a dietary restriction.
They are not yet allowed to eat Thai food, known for the spices and spices they order. Until now, they have eaten porridge, bread and chocolate.
According to the "NYT", doctors ate a high-protein diet, but boys still complain of starvation.
While boys were released in groups of four over the past few days, they are now in different stages of recovery after more than two weeks in the dark cave.
The first group was able to adapt to normal lighting, but they still wear sunglasses, Dr. Jesada said.
Specialists take precautions in case the boys would have contracted a rare disease while they were trapped in the cave.
One of the dangers is to have contracted an infection of bats or rodents that they may have encountered. According to the boys themselves, they did not see wild animals in the cave flooded, but the doctors were still worried.
The hospital sent boys' blood samples to a Bangcok laboratory specializing in infectious diseases.
Post Traumatic Stress
In addition to physical problems, they also receive psychological care. They could possibly suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, recurring nightmares, phobias or other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dr. Jesada said psychologists began visiting boys to help them treat the trauma of being trapped in the cave.
