Question
Lately, my child has been very disobedient and constantly crying, and the hospital check-up didn’t reveal any issues. How should I deal with the situation where my baby has eaten insect repellent incense?
Answer
The active ingredients in insect repellent incense have very little toxicity to humans, so even if the child puts it in their mouth, the amount of active ingredient that can enter the body is extremely small. It’s not necessary to worry too much; there’s no major problem, and there’s no need to rush to the hospital so late. If the child exhibits symptoms of enteritis, symptomatic treatment with Simeticon and probiotic medications can be administered. If necessary, intravenous fluid therapy can be used, and it’s important to avoid giving the child spicy or irritating foods.
