Patient's question:
A 10-month-old baby ate a small piece of plastic from the cigarette pack's outer packaging. It has been a week since then. They have urinated 4 times, but it wasn't noticed at first glance. The baby's mental state is normal, and they are eating dinner normally. Did they not have any excretion?Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's condition, it is likely that they did not ingest the cigarette box packaging paper. A small piece has been eaten, and currently, the child is doing well. It has been four days, and they have had bowel movements several times. The piece may not have been noticed during the bowel movements, possibly wrapped inside the stool, which adults may not have seen. In this case, it is generally not a serious issue, so there is no need to worry too much. You can appropriately give your child more water to drink. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 10-month-old baby eats a small piece of plastic paper from a cigarette box?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
