Patient's question:
, already slept, I am still carefully observing what kind of assistance: Just noticed that my baby is playing with AB glue, where B glue has been quickly opened and A glue is intact. I want to know how to infer whether the baby may have ingested it, and what reactions will occur after ingestion...Doctor's answer:
How young children can accidentally ingest foreign objects can be carefully observed from several symptoms. After a child experiences another incident of ingesting a foreign object, if the object enters the trachea, there may be a coughing symptom upon recurrence, accompanied by a feeling of wanting to vomit. If the foreign object is inhaled into the lungs, it may cause wheezing again. Additionally, parents can also carefully observe their child's expression. When a child's complexion worsens, it is likely that the foreign object has become lodged in the trachea.If parents suspect that their child has ingested a foreign object, they should seek medical attention immediately. Otherwise, if the foreign object remains lodged in the trachea for a long time, it may lead to pus formation. In severe cases, it could even cause bronchitis. Parents must not overlook the seriousness of this situation.
Advice: If parents suspect their child has ingested a foreign object, they should first sit on a chair and place the child on their lap. The child's head should be tilted as far upward as possible. One hand should support the child's back, while the other uses the index finger to gently press the throat area to induce vomiting until the doctor arrives.
