Is it harmful if the baby's suppository is accidentally inserted into the vaginal opening?

Patient's question:

My baby is two and a half years old. She has a slight fever. Just now, my mom gave her a fever reducer, but accidentally put it into her vaginal opening. Then I gently removed it with my hand. Is there any interference? I'm quite worried.

Doctor's answer:

How could it be so careless? When extracting it, was the baby crying or restless? Generally, if there's no sign of broken skin, it should be fine. It's recommended to observe more carefully. I don't know how high the baby's temperature is. If it's below 38.5°C, consider using medication. If it's below 38.5°C, drink more plain water, use cooling patches, and wipe with warm water. The above is advice for this issue. I hope it helps you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
