Question
A ten-month-old baby accidentally drank laundry detergent last night. About four hours later, the baby went to the hospital for gastric lavage, and toxicology tests showed trace amounts of surfactants. It’s now the third day, and the baby has developed red rashes in the area where the diaper is worn, which have appeared and then disappeared, but the baby has started having diarrhea at night.
Answer
Dear inquirer, it is recommended that you continue to monitor the baby’s condition. Since the rash may be related to the use of diapers, it is important to keep the abdomen warm and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. Please take good care of the baby, provide adequate hydration, and pay attention to the cleaning and drying of the affected skin area. Reducing the use of diapers or applying diaper rash ointment may be helpful.
