Question
The 10-month-old baby accidentally swallowed a 2-millimeter plastic toy part. Initially, there was some dry heaving, but then it stopped, and the baby continued to eat and play normally. However, the baby has started to have a fever. But the baby had already had a cold for a few days and hasn’t been eating well recently.
Answer
The fever and cold in the child are unlikely to be related to swallowing the toy part. The part should be excreted in the stool. Pay close attention to observe the stool. Pay attention to taking good medication for the cold and fever, such as taking some traditional Chinese medicine like Reheat Quick Granules, drinking plenty of water, and closely monitor the child’s body temperature.
