Recently, in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, a two-year-old boy suffered from gastroenteritis, and after his parents took their body temperature, they took advantage of their parents' lack of attention to crush the thermometer. According to the child's father, when the child swallowed half of the mercury and part of the glass debris, when they found it, they immediately took the child to the hospital for treatment.
After the doctor took a picture of the child, he began to clean the child's mouth, gastric lavage, vomiting, accelerating excretion and other first aid measures, and finally excreted the mercury left in the child's stomach and intestines, and went to the door to deal with the mercury scattered in the child's home.
Now the child has returned to normal. Doctors remind that if there are children at home, be sure to properly place dangerous items such as mercury thermometers to avoid accidents for children.
What should we do if the mercury thermometer breaks?
The solution given by the doctor is: immediately scrape off with hard, packed in an airtight container, special toxic substance treatment, and open the window or fan for ventilation, resolutely do not use a mop, rag, etc. to wipe the mercury scattered places to avoid mercury spread.
The safety of children should not be underestimated, parents must pay attention to the placement of dangerous goods, or use electronic thermometers to measure temperature. Because children are young and ignorant, their curiosity is invincible, and I hope that parents will take this as a warning and increase their attention!
