Some babies, due to their curiosity about things and parents' poor care for them, may swallow some inedible or even toxic and harmful substances. At this time, parents will be very nervous and regret not taking good care of their babies. So, what are the hazards of babies eating laundry detergent?
1. After accidentally swallowing some laundry detergent, if the amount swallowed is relatively small, the baby may only feel mild abdominal pain. If the amount swallowed is too large, it may cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. In cases of excessive ingestion, the baby should immediately go to the hospital and undergo gastric lavage or other treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor.
2. After the baby swallows laundry detergent, parents should immediately let the baby drink some water to dilute the laundry detergent in the baby's abdomen, effectively relieving the baby's discomfort. At the same time, drinking water can also promote the baby's metabolism, allowing the baby to quickly discharge the laundry detergent from the abdomen.
3. When the baby is playing, parents should teach the baby some things that cannot be touched, or they can also keep harmful things out of the baby's usual reach. It is best to have parents accompany the baby while playing. Parents' companionship can ensure that the baby will not ingest harmful substances and prevent accidents such as knocking on the arm and forehead or scratching the skin.
