Patient's question:
Will a two-year-old baby have no reaction after swallowing a No. 7 battery? The X-ray and ultrasound showed nothing, and it's been almost four years now. Are there any other detailed tests that can detect it?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby accidentally swallowed a No. 7 battery. Since the battery is corrosive, it will definitely cause a reaction. Given that both ultrasound and X-ray examinations did not reveal any abnormalities, and it has been four years with no discomfort symptoms in the baby, it is worth considering how the baby ingested the battery at that time. It is recommended to wait and see for now and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs. The above is advice on this matter, and we hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
