Patient's question:
Baby is two months old. Today, I gave him a bath. After washing his head with a two-in-one shower gel, I was just about to wash his body when he suddenly pushed his body hard. I didn't notice that one side of his face and mouth got splashed with water. His face turned red and he started crying. At first, he couldn't cry out loud, but later, he started crying loudly. He didn't cough, and after being comforted for a while, he stopped crying. I'm very worried that it might lead to pneumonia or something.Doctor's answer:
Accidentally, the child choked on water while taking a bath. After crying, if there is no cough, it means the water hasn't entered the airway, and the possibility of pneumonia is not high. It's okay to wait and see for now, but the baby has been scared too much, so it's important to monitor the temperature (whether there is fever). It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, and to be careful to observe. If the child has a stimulating cough, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time. It is important to take preventive measures while bathing.
