Patient's question:
Ask her if she swallowed it, and she says sometimes yes and sometimes no. What should I do in this situation. Haven't checked yet. Please ask if this requires a hospital visit, because it's uncertain whether she actually swallowed it. How can I know if she swallowed the bead?Doctor's answer:
Since the child is young, the first step is to carefully observe how the beads are being expelled. It is recommended that if no beads are expelled and the child shows no discomfort, but the parent still feels uneasy, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a thorough examination. This may involve using a colonoscopy to closely observe how the bamboo has become lodged in the gastrointestinal tract. The above advice is in response to the question "My baby took a bead almost as big as an adult's thumb yesterday at noon." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
