Patient's question:
The child ingested a rubber stopper from a 5ml syringe. What should be done?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Consultation is available, as well as solutions.
Doctor's answer:
Guidance: If it's not too serious, carefully observe your child's bowel movements in the coming days. Crush each stool to check it. X-rays may not always detect plastic objects. Increase your child's intake of foods like chives and celery. In our clinical experience, most children can pass 1-cent coins, while 1-yuan coins, being slightly larger, may sometimes be difficult for children to pass. The pylorus, the narrowest part of the stomach, is where the issue usually occurs. As long as the object passes from the stomach into the intestines, it should be fine.
