Question
A parent describes how their 8-month-old baby accidentally swallowed an entire grape while drinking grape juice and asks for the best treatment approach. The parent also inquires about the day’s registration status at Huaxi Hospital’s pediatric department, indicating that the situation is urgent.
Answer
It is recommended that the parent observe if the baby shows any digestive signs such as defecation or burping after swallowing the grape. If the baby continues to not defecate, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication. Additionally, remind parents to cut grapes into small pieces when feeding to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Furthermore, inform parents of the day’s registration status at Huaxi Hospital’s pediatric department and suggest trying emergency care or other hospitals if unable to register.
