Could Chewing Of Dead Battery By An Infant Be A Matter Of Concern?
My son was chewing a battery that had been broken open from my dogs (teeth marks) he is nine months old and I am concerned he may have digested something it was in his mouth just for mere seconds however I am still panicking he has no signs and no burns in his mouth do I need to be concerned..

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If he is drinking and eating as normal and there are no visible signs of trauma then it is likely that he is fine.
If there are any changes at all in his mouth or he is demonstrating any discomfort with eating and drinking then he should be assessed.
I hope this helps
