Question

A child accidentally bit down on a bottle with a blue cap and suspects they may have swallowed glass fragments. Parents are worried about their child’s safety and how to handle the situation.

Answer

If a child swallows glass fragments, immediately check their mouth for any remaining shards and try to remove them as soon as possible. Also, monitor the child’s behavior and gastrointestinal symptoms. If they show discomfort, seek medical examination and treatment immediately. Additionally, avoid giving the child items that could cause choking or digestive tract injury to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
