Patient's question:
At two years old, he drank a little bit of 75% medical alcohol. It was so spicy that he only realized he had thrown the alcohol bottle on the ground when he tried to drink water. After eating and drinking milk powder, he took a nap. Will it have any side effects on the child? Will it damage the oral mucosa or intestines?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the child accidentally consumed alcohol, and since the amount is small, it's not a big issue and there's no need to be overly concerned. A minimal amount of alcohol will never cause significant harm to the digestive system or lead to serious consequences. If you're still worried, you can take the child to the hospital for a check-up.It is recommended that alcohol has a certain corrosive effect, so pay close attention to the child's dietary care in the near future, and encourage them to drink more yogurt. Additionally, it's crucial to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future, as they can interfere with the child's gastric mucosa.
