Question
A two-year-old child accidentally ingested the topical medication “Skin Easy Cream.” What potential side effects might this cause? The child is now seven years old but still bedwets. Could this condition be related to the past medication ingestion?
Answer
Accidentally ingesting the topical medication “Skin Easy Cream” may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in children, but generally, it won’t have a significant impact if the amount ingested is small. As for the child’s bedwetting issue, it is not related to the past medication ingestion and there is no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to limit fluid intake before bedtime and avoid excessive excitement. If necessary, the child can be brought to the hospital for a professional evaluation. Bedwetting at the age of seven is a normal phenomenon and usually does not require excessive worry.
