Question
Five days ago, my baby accidentally ate the ‘boba’ from bubble tea and has not shown any other obvious symptoms since then. They have had two bowel movements, but yesterday, when my baby had a bowel movement, it contained dry, hard blood. I am worried about any potential effects. I’ve seen news reports saying that the ‘boba’ might block the intestines, and I am quite concerned.
Answer
How is your child’s usual bowel movement? Have they experienced constipation? Additionally, how many ‘boba’ from the bubble tea did your child consume? Based on the information you provided, your child does not have symptoms of intestinal obstruction, which means there is no blockage in the intestines as you mentioned. At this point, your child might be experiencing constipation. You can address this issue with some precautions. These are my suggestions for this question, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you and your family health!
