Question
My baby is one year and two months old. Today, while playing with colored pencils, the ink got on their hands and wouldn’t come off with water. The baby dislikes sucking their fingers, and if they suck the ink clean, is there a risk of poisoning?
Answer
Based on the description, it is recommended to give the baby an appropriate amount of water to promote metabolism and to continuously monitor for any discomfort symptoms. If the baby exhibits symptoms such as intermittent crying and vomiting, it is advisable to immediately visit a regular hospital pediatric department for a diagnosis and necessary treatment. In everyday life, it is important to strengthen the baby’s diet and care, and pay attention to the baby’s safety protection to prevent accidental injuries.
