Dr Nakarmi further said that there was high chance of internal burn due to inhalation of hot air and smoke through respiratory pipe.
The hospital has referred treatment in well-equipped hospital outside as the medical resources and means available in the country are not possible to offer best treatment, reads the statement of the hospital.RSS
