What should I do if my baby eats preservatives?

Preservatives are a common substance used to preserve food in our lives, especially when eating fresh fruits, most of which contain preservatives. The performance of preservatives is still relatively good. If the preservatives are taken away, it will not be so easy to preserve our food, and it is especially easy to deteriorate. Preservatives cannot be eaten, so what should I do if my baby eats preservatives?

1. Accidentally ingesting silicone preservatives

If the baby accidentally eats silicone preservatives, parents do not need to worry too much, because this preservative cannot be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and will be excreted with feces, and is not toxic to the human body. Unless the baby has special reactions such as dizziness and vomiting, there is generally no need to seek medical attention.

2. Accidentally ingesting quicklime preservatives

Immediately give the baby milk, 10 ml of milk per kg of body weight.

He was then sent to the hospital for treatment.

Quicklime is very dangerous. When it comes into contact with water, it will turn into calcium bicarbonate, a strong alkali, which is very corrosive. It can easily burn and corrode the mouth or esophagus. So be careful.

3. Accidentally eating unlabeled preservatives

If the preservative package that was accidentally ingested does not have a label, parents must pay attention to the form of the preservative:

Quicklime is a white mass that turns into powder when exposed to moisture.

Silicone is a small transparent ball. Pay special attention to the colorful ones, as this preservative can arouse the curiosity of babies.

They look like delicious things.

Guidance:

After making their own judgment, parents adopted different methods to deal with it.

Of course, prevention is the most important thing. Parents should carefully check the food and utensils in their daily life, not only the baby's personal items, and throw away the preservative packets immediately without hesitation!
