Patient's question:
A one-week-old baby broke a thermometer and played with it for a long time. In the afternoon, he slept for three hours in that room. I noticed and picked it up only in the evening. The broken thermometer and toys were placed together in a drawer. I took out a toy from the drawer and he played with it for a long time without washing his face, then ate some biscuits. The toy also got into his rice powder bucket. He has already had two meals of rice powder. The baby is doing fine, so there's no need to take him to the hospital for a check-up. If a check-up is needed, would it be a urine test or a blood test?Doctor's answer:
From your description, this situation is not a problem. Mercury in thermometers is easily soluble, and it is highly unlikely to cause harm to the baby. There is no need to worry too much. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. The above content is the entire answer to the question: "If you check carefully, is it a urine test or a blood test?" I hope the patient can soon be free from the troubles of the disease and recover quickly, enjoying happy and joyful days every day.
