Patient's question:
A 10-month-old baby ate a small piece of plastic from the cigarette pack's outer packaging. It has been a week since then. They have urinated 4 times, but it wasn't noticed at first glance. The baby's mental state is normal, and they are eating dinner normally. Is there any sign of it not being eliminated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's situation, it is likely that they did not ingest the cigarette box packaging paper. A small piece is currently fine, and everything is good. It has been four days, and they have had bowel movements several times. You may not have noticed it being excreted, perhaps it was wrapped in the stool and not seen by an adult. In this case, it is generally not a serious issue. Do not worry too much and you can appropriately give your child more water to drink. The above is advice for the question "What should I do if a 10-month-old baby eats a small piece of plastic paper from a cigarette box?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
