My baby ate paper
My baby is of 6 month, he was chewing paper when I saw him. I removed the left over paper in his mouth by adding finger on his mouth. I am not sure whether he has swallowed paper. What should I do now. What if he has swallowed? Is it hazardous?

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Was the paper plain ppaper or printed paper. If plain do not worry. If with printed ink it depends on how much he has ingested. Still do not worry, chronic exposure to such ink can cause problem , small amount may not.
