Preventing children from eating by mistake is always a top priority
The following points should be done well!
No matter how many first aid methods are mastered, accidental eating will have a certain harm to the child, so prevention is the most important.
(1) Disinfectors and toiletries should be put away
If the child is not in touch, it can avoid accidental eating from the source, prepare a locked cabinet or box, and then put it in a place where the child cannot touch, which is also suitable for other dangerous goods.
(2) Do not replace the original container of the product
Keep medicines, pesticides, and cleaning products in the original container, and avoid putting toxic products in containers that used to be food and beverages, so as not to take it for granted that it contains edible liquids.
From the moment the baby can understand what the mother says, it is necessary to tell the child that no matter what he wants to eat, he must first ask the opinion of the parents before eating.
(3) Expired supplies and waste batteries are disposed of in a timely manner
Expired products should be disposed of in time, and the discarded batteries should be disposed of immediately, and the children will mistakenly eat the batteries in the toys, mostly because the battery box lid is not firm and the parts are falling off. Always check whether the battery of toys, remote controls and other items has loosened, and fix it with screws in time.
Expired medicine and cosmetic containers should also be cleaned up as soon as possible.
(4) Do not put the medicine in your pocket or handbag
Do a good job of checking the medicine, do not let the child play with the empty medicine box, over time, the child will slowly learn how to open the lid.
(5) Never pretend that any one medicine is sweet
Even if you want to coax your child to take medicine, don't think of it as something delicious, the child will imitate, he may take the medicine himself when you are not paying attention, parents should let the child understand the difference between medicine and candy, to avoid the child to use the drug as candy and eat it by mistake.
Parents should not take medicine in front of their children, and their ability to imitate is amazing.
(6) Take good care of your child at all times
When taking children out to play or going to a friend's house, write down the location of medicines and other dangerous substances, not everyone has children in their homes, and dangerous supplies can only be eliminated by you.
If there are guests in the house, put away their luggage to prevent painkillers and other medications in their handbags.
Any accidental eating can be avoided, what we have to do is to keep someone by the child's side at all times, do not let the child play alone, you will not know, the next moment the child will do something, you can not predict when the danger will occur.
This knowledge must be transferred to the family!
