Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask, if a child accidentally swallows plastic, does it need to be treated at the hospital? Will it be harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, the child accidentally ingested plastic, which is not very large. After observing for a long time, there have been no unusual symptoms. If the plastic is small, not sharp, and has a thick edge, and the infant's bowel movements have been normal in recent days, you can give the child more water and rough fiber. Then, if the child experiences severe abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately.
