Children also have a common feature, that is, they like to put things they don't know or things they can get in their hands.
Experienced parents should have encountered their own children eating all kinds of strange things, he does not know whether this thing is dirty or not, is thinking of sending it to his mouth. When your child is young, such a terrible thing happened, when the child is 5 years old, because the resistance is relatively weak, so he often has a cold and fever.

Later he reacted, it turned out that the child had broken the thermometer, he was very scared in the face of this, but he did not panic, first he took a flashlight to see if the child's oral mucosa was damaged. He was relieved when he confirmed that his child's oral mucosa was not broken.
Then he hurried to let his wife prepare a small bowl of egg whites, forcing his children to drink, the wife was still wondering why he wanted his children to drink egg whites, this neighborhood was too nervous and did not say much, but simply explained to his wife that drinking egg whites can neutralize the toxicity of mercury.
Later, the father also said that because the mercury is more volatile, he quickly let his wife open all the windows that can be opened in the house, put on masks for himself and his wife and children, and then collected the mercury scattered on the ground and sealed it tightly with tape.
After doing this series of measures, he quickly took his daughter to the hospital, passed by the hospital, took an X-ray doctor, and found that although there was still some mercury in the abdomen, it did not matter. If you are still worried, you can let your child eat more foods that promote excretion after returning home, so that the child will excrete mercury out of the body when excreting.
When asking about the child's condition, the doctor asked the father what was done when it happened. The father replied unhurriedly, gave his daughter a bowl of egg white, then opened the window to collect all the mercury, and then quickly took his daughter to the hospital, and the doctor said that this was a good practice.
In fact, the next time the treatment is so good, there is no need to bring the child to the hospital, there is almost no big problem, the child's father also said that he was relieved after hearing it, and finally did not have to worry about the child's body will be affected.
