Usually babies are curious about new things and often grab them with their hands and put them in their mouths. This requires parents to keep away dangerous drugs and items at home to prevent babies from accidentally ingesting them. So, what should I do if my baby accidentally eats soap?
If parents find that their baby accidentally eats soap, they should promptly ask the baby to drink more water and perform a simple cleaning of the baby's mouth. Encouraging babies to drink more water can promote excretion, as smooth soap will be excreted through their intestines. But if the baby experiences obvious non symptoms during this period, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., they should seek medical attention immediately.
If a baby doesn't eat too much soap, there shouldn't be any major problems. Drinking plenty of water will slowly release the soap. But if you consume a large amount, you should go to the hospital for gastric lavage or induce vomiting to quickly eliminate harmful substances such as soap from the body. You can also give the baby milk to dilute the concentration of soapy water in their stomach.
Generally, babies have a strong curiosity and don't understand anything, often putting whatever they get into their mouths. Therefore, in order to prevent babies from accidentally ingesting dangerous goods, parents should place such dangerous goods as safely as possible and in places that are not easily accessible to babies, in order to reduce the probability of dangerous situations occurring.
