Patient's question:
My baby is four months old. His grandfather can't go a day without alcohol. Whenever he drinks, he either holds the baby or puts his hand in the baby's mouth, or he teases the child closely. During the postpartum period, the baby slept with them, and their room always had a smell of smoke and alcohol. I'm wondering what harm could come from the baby inhaling too much of it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after reading your description, first of all, it is definitely not good. There will be a lot of ethanol dissolved in the mouth. Ethanol enters cells directly. Of course, it is recommended to drink less beer and avoid contact with children. Alcohol has a suppressive effect on the nervous system. Pay attention to your child's dietary habits during the growth and development stage. Implement pediatric physical examinations regularly. I hope my suggestions can help you.
