Patient's question:
Is it okay if my 3-year-old child ate 6 pieces of Orbit mouthwash? What should I do? My wife and I are very anxious.Doctor's answer:
Hello, did the child swallow 6 pieces of gum or just chew 6 pieces of gum? Is the child currently experiencing any discomfort? Is there any nausea or vomiting? The main ingredients of gum are powdered sugar, syrup, and gum base. The first two dissolve in saliva, and the gum base generally slowly dissolves in gastric juice.Guidance:
It is recommended not to panic too much and observe the child's condition. Check if there is any nausea or vomiting. Currently, you can give the child more water to speed up excretion. Generally, there is no problem. If there are no symptoms after two days, it can be left alone. I hope my answer satisfies you. Thank you.
