Patient's question:
My child is 1 year and 10 months old. They accidentally ingested potassium permanganate, but it hasn't been swallowed. What should I do now? So far, there have been no reactions. Previously, I made them vomit and drink water. They have also been given milk and egg whites.Doctor's answer:
Based on your clinical description of the baby. If it hasn't been swallowed. Avoid causing damage to the oral mucosa. The first thing to do if the baby accidentally swallows this medication is to repeatedly clean the mouth. Because this medication will corrode the mucosa of the digestive system. Therefore, it is best to repeatedly clean the baby's mouth with warm water. And feed the baby with milk and other foods to protect the stomach mucosa. If the baby shows any abnormalities. It is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor in a timely manner.
