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. I'm wondering what would happen if the baby ate glass.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child accidentally swallows glass without getting stuck, it usually passes out with the stool. It's generally not harmful, but putting it in the mouth can easily scratch the child's mouth. Now, the child should drink more water and eat more high-fiber foods. If the child is not crying or showing any distress, it's not a concern. You can have an X-ray taken to check, and if there are no broken areas on the child's body, it means the glass hasn't entered.
