Will it be poisonous if a child bites a battery?

We are exposed to batteries in many places in our lives today. Common ones include mobile phone batteries, remote control batteries, and batteries of electric cars that children often play with, etc. Here we would like to remind all parents that batteries are relatively dangerous items. Children should be prevented from playing with batteries. Batteries contain many toxic ingredients. Young babies who are still young will often put things in their mouths and bite them. Will babies be poisoned if they bite batteries?

Will it be poisonous if a child bites a battery?

Since babies' intelligence level has not yet developed to that of adults, they may misjudge the things in their hands and not know whether the things are edible or not, so babies often eat things by mistake. Usually we have batteries at home, and they must be placed in a hidden place. If the baby accidentally gets them or bites the batteries, it will be harmful.

If a child accidentally bites a battery, parents should not panic. First of all, they should let the child stop touching the battery. Although there are some inedible chemicals in the battery, the battery is generally hard and well-made, and it is generally not easy for children to bite it. Parents should first observe whether the battery is broken and whether there is any white foreign matter flowing out. Parents must ensure the health of their children at all times, pay close attention to their children's movements, and never ignore their children's behavior.

If the battery is not broken, it is not toxic. Although there is mercury in the battery, which can cause damage to the respiratory tract and skin, the mercury will not flow out as long as the battery is not broken. In addition, there are some very complex chemical components in the battery, which are indeed harmful to human health. If you find that the baby has shaken the battery, you should carefully observe whether the battery is damaged. If the battery is damaged, go to the hospital immediately to check with the doctor to see if there is anything wrong.

If a child bites a battery, it is definitely poisonous. First, let the child rinse his mouth with water immediately, but do not swallow the water. Then find the nearest hospital. Parents should always pay attention to the child's symptoms. If convulsions occur or the face turns pale, these are signs of poisoning. Some children may suffer from poisoning after biting a battery. They may turn pale, foam at the mouth, or even go into shock. However, parents don’t need to worry too much. If they are really worried, they can go to the hospital.

Normally, dangerous items at home, such as batteries, knives, and some toxic chemicals, should be placed higher and out of the reach of children. Children cannot accurately judge whether these things are harmful to themselves. Sometimes children are very curious and play with them, which may cause damage to their bodies. Some things may seriously endanger children's lives. When parents are taking care of their children, they should not ignore them. When they are playing by themselves, they should observe them from time to time and pay attention to their movements.

If a child accidentally bites a battery, he should be taught not to eat anything indiscriminately and to stay away from dangerous items when playing. If poisoning occurs or other toxic substances are accidentally ingested, you can go to the pediatric gastroenterology department for treatment. The doctor will order an abdominal X-ray and blood test to observe whether the baby has any symptoms to provide help for subsequent treatment.
