How To Keep Children Away From Eating Peanuts And Other Harmful Food?
OUR SON OF 15 MONTHS IS HAPPY HEALTHY AND ACTIVE HE HAS G6PD HE HAS A GREAT APPETITE EATS ALL WE GIVE HIM. WE ARE SUPER CAREFUL WITH HIS DIET AND AVOID ANY FOODS DRUGS THAT MAY HARM HIM BUT MY WORRY IS WHAT HAPPENS IT HE GETS HOLD OF SOMETHING LIKE PEANUTS OR ANOTHER HARMFUL FOOD AND EATS IT. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AND HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO GET HIM HELP WE JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO OR DEAL WITH.
Your concern is absolutely right. There is list of food which should be avoid in G6PD deficiency. The good thing is even if he eats any avoided food item, reaction or response will be not be toxic, severe or dangerous. You will have enough time to take him to the hospital. But again precaution is better than cure. Education is the best way to avoid such things. Educate yourself as a parents and once your baby will be intelligent enough to understand you should start teaching. Make sure you notify this problem in his school forms too.
Wishing your son a healthy life.
