Hello there. I can understand your concern. Hair won't get digested. Don't need to worry, the hair will go nowhere, it will be passed out with stools eventually. . Just give the child a lot of fluids. If the baby develops any symptoms, get him Checked out by a pediatrician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
