Patient's question:
A child of one of my neighbors put the seeds of a pomegranate into their nostril. Can they eat the pomegranate if they can spit out the seeds themselves?Doctor's answer:
For three-year-old children, pomegranates can be eaten, but it's important to be more cautious at this time to avoid the child swallowing pomegranate seeds. It's best to limit their consumption. Generally, it won't affect the child's health. Pomegranates contain a lot of vitamin C, which is beneficial for health. You can also make pomegranate juice for the child. At this age, the child can learn to spit out the seeds. Under normal circumstances, if the child is three years old and doesn't spit out the seeds when eating pomegranates, it won't have too much impact.
