In Bhubaneswar, volunteers from the snake helpline rescued a common cobra struggling to breathe after ingesting a bottle of cough syrup.

Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda shared a video on X platform depicting a cobra with a cough syrup bottle stuck in its mouth. Unable to eject the bottle, the snake was in distress until locals alerted volunteers via a ‘snake helpline’. Responders promptly arrived, safely extracted the bottle, and released the snake back into its natural habitat.

‘A Common cobra swallowed a cough syrup bottle in Bhubaneswar & was struggling to regurgitate it. Volunteers from the snake helpline gently widened the lower jaw to free the rim of the base of the bottle with great risk & saved a precious life. Kudos’ Mr. Nanda shared a video praising the volunteers.
