Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How should I respond to the situation where the baby has eaten mosquito coils?Doctor's answer:
The active ingredients in mosquito coils are not highly toxic to the human body. Even if a child puts it in their mouth but doesn't swallow it, the amount of active ingredients that can enter the body is extremely small. It is recommended not to worry too much, as there is no major issue. There is no need to go to the hospital this late. It might be caused by intestinal inflammation. You can take Smecta and probiotics for symptomatic treatment. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
