What to do if your one-year-old baby swallows a plum pit

In real life, because babies are curious and want to try all kinds of things, they often swallow foreign objects. In this case, there is generally no need for special treatment. Parents should pay more attention to their children's diet, especially fruits with pits. Care should be taken not to swallow the pits in the fruit. This is especially true for one-year-old babies. For example, the pits of plums are relatively large and not easy to digest. If swallowed, they may cause digestive problems.

After this happens, the foreign matter will gradually be discharged from the body along with the peristalsis of the baby's gastrointestinal tract. During this period, make sure the baby drinks more hot water and gives the baby a clockwise abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and the excretion of foreign matter.

If a child has clearly ingested a foreign object, it is necessary to observe whether the child has other discomforts such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc.

1. If the child does not have other discomforts such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., you can continue to observe the dynamic situation, let the baby drink plenty of water, and pay attention to the baby's excrement to see if there is any foreign body discharged. If the baby has any discomfort, he should seek medical attention promptly to avoid foreign objects causing gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction.

2. If a child accidentally swallows a plum pit, you need to pay attention to care, eat more fruits and vegetables, use some spleen and stomach strengthening medicines, also use probiotics, massage the abdomen clockwise frequently, diversify the food, and observe.

3. You can pay attention and observe, generally there will be no problem. Because the digestive tract is much thicker than the esophagus, if it can be swallowed, it must be able to be excreted. What's more, it is round and easy to roll.

4. If it is swallowed into the stomach, the danger is relatively small. The main concern is that it will fall into the trachea and cause breathing difficulties, and there is a risk of suffocation. Pay close attention to the child's breathing and coughing. Once the child starts crying, breathing rapidly, and coughing severely, go to the hospital immediately.

5. If the foreign body is larger in diameter, you need to pay attention to whether it will get stuck in the esophagus. Most children with this disease have difficulty eating. It can be detected through a barium meal examination (it cannot be seen on X-rays, only metal ones can be seen through), and it needs to be removed by gastroscopy. If something is swallowed that is thorny or corrosive, you need to go to the hospital immediately to have a gastroscopy to remove it as soon as possible.

6. You can let your child eat more foods high in fiber. Generally, round objects do little harm to the body, so don't worry too much. You can also go to the hospital for a check-up. If the baby's general condition is good, and there is no difficulty breathing, crying, etc., there should be no big problem. You can give the baby more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, massage the abdomen, promote the baby's bowel movements, and observe the baby's bowel movements. If the baby has not defecated, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
