Patient's question:
I would like to ask, if a 16-month-old baby accidentally eats jujubes, do they need to be treated at the hospital? Will it be harmful to their body?Doctor's answer:
The baby experienced crying, restlessness, and coughing after accidentally eating jujubes. I wonder if there are still any symptoms like coughing, tearing eyes, or difficulty breathing now. If not, there should be no need to worry. It is recommended to continue monitoring. If there is difficulty breathing, coughing, or bluish lips, seek medical attention promptly.If your baby accidentally ate a jujube and it got stuck, causing crying and coughing but the jujube was not vomited out, and now the child is not crying or fussing, it is important to be aware of the possibility of a bronchial foreign body. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and, if necessary, undergo bronchoscopy for a definitive diagnosis.
