Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I would like to consult about my 4-year-old child accidentally eating bubble gum modeling clay. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The clay itself is non-toxic, and usually, if a baby accidentally ingests it, there won't be any abnormal reactions. If there are no physical discomforts, it will generally be excreted from the digestive system. You can give the baby more water, rough fiber foods, and vegetables to speed up the clay's excretion. Additionally, applying heat and performing clockwise abdominal massages can promote its early removal from the body. If the baby shows no discomfort, there is no need to worry.
