Question

My baby is 7 months old and accidentally ate some diaper cream. Will there be a problem?

Answer

Hello, if a child accidentally ingests a small amount of diaper cream, it usually does not cause significant health issues. For safety, it is recommended to have the child drink plenty of water and milk, which can help accelerate the excretion of the cream. At the same time, you should observe whether the child has any adverse reactions, such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice anything wrong, take the child to see a doctor immediately. Additionally, to prevent similar incidents from occurring again, you should keep all medications and small items out of reach and ensure the safety of the child’s play area.
