What if a crayon gets in your stomach?

Crayons eaten into the stomach should be promptly stopped from being consumed again by the patient, and attention should be paid to fasting, prompt medical attention, and appropriate treatment according to the amount of food consumed. According to the regulations of the Quality Supervision Bureau, all crayons and paints should be free of harmful substances. Therefore, if the amount consumed is very small and there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, you can let the patient drink more water, metabolize it in time, and excrete it through feces. If a large amount is consumed or if nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms occur, it is necessary to immediately induce vomiting, gastric lavage and other treatments to reduce the absorption of harmful substances in crayons to avoid adverse effects on the body. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time and intervene as soon as possible under the guidance of a professional physician to avoid delaying the condition.
