Patient's question:
When opening the can, I wasn't careful and broke two small pieces of glass, which fell into the can. On the third day, I forgot to give the baby their meal and accidentally swallowed the two small pieces of glass. I don't understand medicine, so I'm wondering if the doctor will be able to reach the baby's brain through the baby's mouth. Besides whether it might get stuck in the baby's stomach or intestines, will it interfere with the baby's intellectual and brain development? I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Certainly, it is possible to cause gastrointestinal injury. However, it is generally never the case.Advice: In most cases, it is not a concern, as long as it does not enter the trachea, it will never interfere. It can usually be excreted through the stool, and it will never be digested. Do not worry, and wait and see for now.
However, it is recommended to eat more bananas, vegetables, and fruits to promote bowel movement and enhance elimination.
Lifestyle care: If you experience abdominal pain, you should promptly check whether it is caused by this factor leading to intestinal obstruction and gastrointestinal harm. You may need to undergo ultrasound and scan examinations to monitor the location of the foreign object.
