Patient's question:
My baby is one year and two months old. Yesterday, he accidentally swallowed a date pit. What should I do? I'm very worried! (No adverse reactions) What kind of help do I need: I want to know if it will cause harm and how to handle it!!Doctor's answer:
Based on the child's symptoms, it is preliminarily considered that the issue is ingestion of foreign objects. Ingestion of foreign objects is generally never accompanied by symptoms unless they are lodged in the throat, causing difficulty in breathing. This situation is quite common. Children can expel the foreign objects through their stool. It is recommended to rest more, avoid overexertion, and refrain from consuming spicy foods. Properly digest vegetables. If the child's stool is dry, you can give sweet potatoes or honey orally to help lubricate the intestines, allowing the to be expelled.
