A Townsville toddler who swallowed a troll doll may have been inspired by her favourite movie Trolls.
Alice River toddler Eloise Huggett, 2, was playing with her sister ­Millie’s Trolls doll last Tuesday when parents ­Justin and Melanie heard her choking.
“We didn’t realise she had the troll and then the next minute she started choking,” Mrs Huggett said.
“The most horrible thoughts went through my mind because when it comes to your kids, you just panic.
“But my husband was just so calm and leapt into action to administer first-aid to try to get the troll dislodged out of her throat.”
Eloise was rushed to Townsville Hospital where an X-ray (inset) revealed that the bright yellow body of the Mandy Sparkledust doll, about 6cm long and 2cm wide, had miraculously made its way safely down into her stomach.
Mrs Huggett said that doctors told her Eloise would not require surgery and advised she just let ­nature take its course.
“They said it might be uncomfortable for her as it goes through her intestines, but she was fine and it did come out naturally,” she said.
In the 2016 movie Trolls, the “Bergens” don’t know how to be happy until one of them eats a troll.
They then believe swallowing the colourful characters brings eternal happiness.
