Babies are mischievous in their early childhood stage, and many inedible things are put into their mouths, even the mother's lipstick may take a bite, and the fragrance of lipstick is quite strong. Children love to eat it, which makes mothers very worried about their baby's health and afraid of affecting their body. So, what should babies do if they accidentally eat lipstick?
1. If the baby does not have any adverse reactions such as vomiting, it is generally not a big problem, so mothers do not need to worry too much. A small amount of accidental ingestion at once does not have much impact. It is best to let the baby drink more water, and it should be given multiple times in stages. In addition to drinking plenty of water, it is also important to exercise more to promote faster excretion.
2. After accidentally eating lipstick, abdominal pain and diarrhea may occur. If it is not severe, do not take medication and observe first. If the symptoms are severe, do not observe again and promptly seek formal treatment at the hospital. Try to blindly use medication as it may delay the optimal treatment time if not targeted.
3. There are many cases of babies accidentally eating lipstick, and many children have experienced this. But if the amount swallowed is relatively large and a habit is formed, it cannot be underestimated, as it may lead to excessive levels of heavy metals such as lead and mercury. If there is such a situation, go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is excessive heavy metal, and detect and treat it early to avoid affecting the child's overall function.
