Babies are very active when they are young, and they are also prone to stuffing things into their mouths as soon as they see them, which is their nature. Mothers must keep away from harmful things that their babies eat in their daily lives and tell them what not to touch. So what if the baby accidentally eats laundry detergent? Let's learn about it together.
What should I do if my baby accidentally eats laundry detergent
1. The baby accidentally ate a little laundry detergent, which is mostly alkaline and may cause some damage to the mucous membrane. It is recommended to observe whether there are any abnormal symptoms in the baby's oral mucosa. You can feed the baby more water, add some sugar and vinegar to the water, and relieve the irritation of alkaline substances in laundry detergent on the gastric mucosa. If the baby experiences other discomfort symptoms, go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
2. The baby accidentally ate a little laundry detergent. If the amount is large, go to the emergency department of the hospital in time. If it's just a little bit, it won't have a big impact. Rinse your child's mouth well, rinse everything out, then drink a little more water, dilute it, and speed up the excretion of laundry detergent. Generally, there won't be any major problems.
The harm of laundry detergent to the human body
1. We have all had the experience of feeling very dry after washing clothes, which is actually the effect of the compound in laundry detergent.
2. The chemical substances in laundry detergent entering the human body may cause allergic reactions.
3. Some laundry detergents contain chemicals such as fluorescent agents and whitening agents that are not easily decomposed. These substances are difficult to decompose when they enter the human body and accumulate in the body, greatly reducing the body's immune function.
Through the previous text, I believe that all mothers have already understood the two issues of what to do if their baby accidentally eats laundry detergent and the harm of laundry detergent to the human body. In daily life, many babies tend to eat whatever they see, so mothers should tell their babies what they cannot touch, and it is best to keep these harmful things far away.
