Patient's question:
What should I do if the baby swallows an object? He himself said it was something like a round ring. About his previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of help do you want: How to check which items should be checked at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
If the child swallows a smooth, spineless object, the child's behavior is usually calm, without crying, vomiting, or other symptoms of distress. The foreign body may have passed relatively smoothly into the stomach. At this time, it is appropriate to give the child more coarse, long-fiber vegetables, such as chives, celery, and green vegetables, to tightly wrap the foreign body and promote early defecation. Generally, 1 to 2 days later, the foreign body can be excreted with the stool. Therefore, after the child defecates, parents can gently scrape the stool with a small stick and examine it carefully to check for the presence of any foreign bodies. If the foreign body has not been excreted after 3 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for follow-up.
