Patient's question:
Tonight, I gave a seed to the baby by mistake and it ended up in his mouth. As a result, I didn't hold the seed properly and it fell into his mouth, and he swallowed it. So, we gave him pomegranate juice to force him to swallow it, but later realized that we should have fed him milk to help him. Is it okay for a three-month-old baby to accidentally eat pomegranate seeds?Doctor's answer:
If the baby is not uncomfortable now, it is generally not affected when it reaches the gastrointestinal tract, because it can be excreted with the stool. It is recommended to give the baby more water and a light diet. Avoid giving the baby hard nuts, such as peanuts, soybeans, and sunflower seeds, to prevent them from accidentally falling into the trachea, as this can easily lead to suffocation, which is very dangerous. Therefore, there will naturally be no impact, and you can rest assured. It should not be a big problem, just be more careful in the future.
