Patient's question:
I just accidentally poured the desiccant packet into the glass bottle. Is the water in the bottle still drinkable?Doctor's answer:
The desiccant inside the thermos expands when it comes into contact with water. This makes it unusable. It can affect health. If you experience stomach pain symptoms, the desiccant in the thermos is usually lime, which is not edible but also non-toxic. Since you have been drinking it for a month and are experiencing stomach pain symptoms again, I recommend you visit a gastroenterology department in the hospital for examination. You should have a complete blood count, urine test, liver function test, kidney function test, and an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. For your current condition, if you have any stomach problems, it is recommended to have an ultrasound or contrast examination of the stomach to identify the specific issue before considering further steps regarding the quality.
