Baby was ten months old one week ago last night when she drank a little laundry detergent and then had a bowel movement.

Patient's question:

Baby is ten months old and one week. The night before yesterday, they drank a little bit of laundry detergent and arrived at the hospital to have their stomach pumped after about four hours. The toxicology test showed trace amounts of surfactant. Today is the third day, and there are red rashes in the area where the diaper was worn, which went down within an hour. In the evening, they started having diarrhea again.

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer, regarding the situation you mentioned, it is advisable to wait and see for a bit. Since the baby is wearing diapers, the rash may be related to the use of diapers. For diarrhea, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and ensure the baby drinks plenty of fluids. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby, provide appropriate fluids, and pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the skin. Try to minimize diaper wetness and apply some diaper cream.
