Baby accidentally eats hair

When babies are young, their stomachs are still very delicate, so when you feed them food, you must choose softer food for them. In addition, many babies are curious about some things. After grabbing them with their hands, they always like to put them in their mouths. If they accidentally swallow them into their stomachs, it is very dangerous. Therefore, parents must take good care of them. So what should you do if your baby accidentally eats hair?

If the amount is not too large, generally no special attention is required. It will be excreted from the body with the feces and will not cause much impact on the child. However, there is one situation that parents should pay attention to. If a child accidentally eats hair and causes a severe cough, it is possible that the child has accidentally inhaled the hair into the trachea, which will cause serious respiratory problems to the child. If this happens, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. The shedding of human hair can be seen everywhere in nature. Since babies have poor identification ability, they may accidentally eat hair while eating food or playing.

This situation will not affect the baby's health, please don't worry.

Guidance: Generally, hair will not be absorbed after being swallowed by the baby. It will be discharged from the body with the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and will not affect the baby's health.
