Patient's question:
For the newborn, a sterile finger wound was disinfected with an iodine solution specifically designed for infants and children, but it may be accidentally ingested by the child, which could cause what interference? The child is one and a half months old. Because the finger has a small wound, an iodine solution for sterilizing the umbilicus, specifically designed for infants and children, was applied to one of her fingernails by the hospital where she was born. Tonight, it was discovered that the color of the iodine solution on her finger had already faded. The family members said they noticed her putting her finger in her mouth during the day. If it is accidentally swallowed, what harm could it do to the child's health?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the situation, the child is only one and a half months old and should definitely not be eating their fingers yet. Please don't worry.Advice: The disinfectant that was applied will gradually fade over time. Therefore, even if the child accidentally ingested a very small amount, there will definitely be no problem. Don't be anxious.
The above is the advice for this issue. I hope it helps you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
