Patient's question:
A one-week-old baby was playing by pulling the drawers, which caused the thermometer in the drawer to break. After playing for a while, I took a toy from the drawer for the baby to play with. When I took it, there were no mercury beads on the toy. The baby touched the toy, didn't wash his face, and didn't eat. The baby used the toy to tap the open lid of the rice powder bucket once, and ate two meals of rice powder. In the afternoon, the baby slept for three hours in that room. In the evening, I noticed the drawer was open and only then realized the thermometer had broken. It's been two days, and the baby is acting normally. Will this affect the baby's physical and mental development and brain growth? If I go to the hospital for a blood or urine test, I'm very worried. I sincerely request the professional opinions of all the doctors!Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Good this parent, the thermometer broke, the main component of the mercury beads inside is mercury. Mercury dissolves in air, and in large quantities can cause mercury poisoning in humans. It is recommended to frequently open windows for ventilation, to quickly remove the remaining mercury from the air to the outside. Generally speaking, poisoning will absolutely not occur. This is the entire introduction to "Is the thermometer harmful to the baby?". Finally, wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
