Patient's question:
When the doctor's child was playing, they found something that should be desiccant from a shoebox—a hard block similar to salt, colorless and odorless. They bit and played with it for a while. Do they need to go to the hospital immediately?Doctor's answer:
Did the baby eat? Based on your description and observation, it is likely a desiccant. My suggestion is to continue to closely monitor the situation. There is no need to go to the hospital for now. If there are any special circumstances, please go to the hospital for follow-up immediately. The above advice is for the question "Does a child need to go to the hospital when they bite something that is suspected to be a desiccant while playing?" I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
