The baby ate the shell of cod liver oil

Many babies eat cod liver oil when they laugh, but because babies may be less skilled in eating, they are likely to eat the outer skin of cod liver oil. The outer skin of cod liver oil looks like a capsule. Although it will decompose when it encounters water in our stomach, we should try to eat less. So what should we do if babies eat the outer shell of cod liver oil?

The outer shell of cod liver oil is composed of starch-like substances, which will soften and decompose when exposed to water. Its main purpose is to delay the action time of the drug so that it can slowly combine with the gastrointestinal tract and facilitate absorption. Therefore, the shell of cod liver oil given to babies is edible, and it will become soft after soaking in water. A 2-year-old baby has good swallowing function and can swallow it, so the shell can be eaten together.
