Question
Is it dangerous for children to eat coins?
Answer
Under normal circumstances, it is generally possible for children to pass coins through their intestines, and the edges of coins are relatively smooth, so they usually do not damage the intestinal mucosa and pose risks such as digestive tract injury and bleeding. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow children to develop picky eating habits and should provide a balanced diet.
