An accident happened to a family in Zhuzhou, Hunan. My 8-year-old sister gave 10-year-old sister soda as rock candy. No sooner had she taken a sip than she turned pale and cried that her throat was uncomfortable. Grandma at home sent her sister to the hospital immediately after she found out. After the doctor's examination, her sister was diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and there was no serious problem. Sodium hydroxide is a corrosive chemical and a white solid. Sodium hydroxide is very similar to rock sugar. If we don't pay attention to the distinction, it is easy to treat sodium hydroxide as rock sugar, which will lead to accidents.
This news tells us that parents must put away dangerous goods and put them out of children's reach. Chemicals are often corrosive, so we can't take them lightly. As parents, we must learn to preserve chemicals. It is best not to put particularly toxic chemicals at home. Other chemicals should also indicate their characteristics and educate children not to touch them at will. If you really meet a child who eats these strong acids and alkalis by mistake, don't blindly wash them with water, because washing these chemicals with water will bring other harm. We can use egg white or milk for first aid, and then go to the hospital immediately.
As parents, we must take good care of our children, keep them away from chemicals and don't take them lightly. Don't regret after the accident, it will hurt the child's life.
