Question
When my child was about one year old, a sewing needle went missing at home and we couldn’t find it for a long time. I read a news article today that said a needle can pierce into the human body and wander around inside. Suddenly, I’m scared that the needle might have pierced my child’s body. My child is now seven years old. Is it necessary to take them for a check-up?
Answer
Hello, considering your child’s situation and whether they might have a problem with their body, what should you do? I suggest not to worry because if the child had been pierced by the needle back then, there would definitely have been symptoms. If the child was fine at that time, generally speaking, there shouldn’t be any issues. If you’re still not comfortable, you can also take your child to the hospital for a check-up. It will put your mind at ease if everything is okay, right?
