What to do if a child swallows a glass bead

If a child swallows glass beads, you can continue to observe or take the child to the hospital for surgery, depending on the child's performance.

1. Continue to observe: If the child does not show any abnormal reaction after accidentally sticking the glass ball to the child, you can observe the child temporarily. Generally, the glass ball will be excreted from the body with the feces in the intestines over time, and it usually does not cause any impact on the body, because the glass ball is round, which is more conducive to rapid excretion.

2. Hospital operation: If the glass ball gets stuck in the child's throat after being swallowed, the child may experience obvious vomiting and difficulty swallowing, and the lips may turn purple, which may easily threaten the child's life. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, and then completely remove the glass ball under the guidance of a doctor through laryngoscope monitoring.

Glass balls are relatively dangerous items, and children are relatively young and often have no sense of safety. Be sure to place some dangerous items in high places to prevent children from touching them. You can buy some safer toys for children to play with. You must manage your children's daily lives well and do not let them play alone. This can reduce adverse reactions in life. In addition, you must also strengthen the nutrients in your children's lives, eat more high-quality protein foods, and avoid trace deficiencies.
