Patient's question:
When the doctor's child was playing, they dug something out of a shoebox that should be a desiccant, resembling a hard block of salt in appearance. It was colorless and odorless. They bit and played with it for a while. Do they need to go to the hospital immediately?Doctor's answer:
Did the baby eat? Based on your description and observation, it is likely a desiccant. My suggestion is to continue to closely monitor the situation. There is no need to go to the hospital for now. If there are any special circumstances, please go to the hospital for follow-up immediately. The above advice is for the question "Does a child need to go to the hospital if they bite something that is suspected to be a desiccant while playing?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
