Patient's question:
When opening the can, I wasn't careful and broke two small pieces of glass, which fell into the can. On the third day, I forgot to give the baby their meal and accidentally swallowed the two small pieces of glass. I don't understand medicine, so I'm wondering if the doctor will be able to remove the glass from the baby's mouth and into their brain. Besides whether it might get stuck in the baby's stomach or intestines, could it interfere with the baby's intellectual and brain development? I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Of course, it may cause gastrointestinal injury. However, it is generally not going to happen. Suggestions: Usually, it's not a big deal as long as it doesn't enter the trachea, it will not interfere. It can generally be excreted through the stool, and it will not be digested. Don't worry, just wait and see for now. But it is recommended to eat more bananas, vegetables, and fruits to promote bowel movement and enhance elimination.Living care: Additionally, if you have abdominal pain, you should promptly check whether it is caused by this factor leading to intestinal obstruction and gastrointestinal harm. Or you may need to undergo ultrasound and scan examinations to monitor and observe the location of the foreign object.
