Patient's question:
The child, except for the two days of the full moon, took a bath today and used soap on the nipples after the bath, and then continued to be fed. If the child eats a very small amount of soap, will it cause them to become mute?Doctor's answer:
This situation would generally never happen again, so there's no need to worry too much. Is the child's voice hoarse now? If there are symptoms of hoarseness, it may not necessarily be caused by soap. It could be a mild cold or there might be a possibility of laryngitis. Carefully observe the child's hoarseness—if it worsens or they struggle to breathe, it's essential to go to the hospital for follow-up. If you're still worried, you can use clean water to rinse more during the bath.
