Both green and red dates have jujube pits. And sometimes babies also like to eat this kind of food, but since babies are still young, it is inevitable that they may accidentally swallow jujube pits. Jujube pits are hard and cannot be digested, and the swallowed ones can easily have adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract. So, what should I do if my baby's buttocks hurt after swallowing jujube pits?
1. The jujube pits swallowed by babies are relatively sharp and will not be digested by the body. Especially for babies with weak gastrointestinal function, it is highly likely to get stuck in the small intestine, causing local damage and pain. It is necessary to seek medical treatment for babies in a timely manner.
2. After swallowing jujube pits, the baby should closely observe their stool and check for any expelled jujube pits every time they defecate. At the same time, it is important to closely monitor whether the baby has blood in their stool. If there is any abnormal stool, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
3. If the jujube pits have already been excreted with feces, causing pain in the baby's anal area, it is necessary to take timely and careful care of the anal area. After each bowel movement, warm water can be used to clean the baby's buttocks to prevent infection caused by fecal contamination. If the damage is severe, it is also necessary to use the ointment prescribed by the doctor for application and care. And closely observe whether there is infection, redness, and swelling in the anal area. If there are any abnormalities, timely follow-up is necessary.
