Patient's question:
Baby is two months old. Today, I gave him a bath and used a two-in-one shower gel to wash his hair. Just as I was about to wash his body, he pushed his body hard. I didn't notice that one side of his face and mouth got splashed with water. His face turned red and he started crying. At first, he couldn't cry out loud, but later he started crying loudly. He didn't cough, and after being comforted for a while, he stopped crying. I'm very worried that it might lead to pneumonia or something.Doctor's answer:
When bathing, the child accidentally inhaled water. After crying, if there is no cough, it means the water did not enter the airway, and the possibility of pneumonia is unlikely. Temporary careful observation is sufficient, but the baby is extremely frightened and it is necessary to monitor body temperature (whether there is fever). It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, and to carefully observe. If the child has a stimulating cough, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. During bathing, it is important to take preventive measures.
