Health Tip: Keep Battery-Powered Devices Away From Kids
The Children's National Medical Center offers this advice for parents:
- Restrict access to any devices that use "button" and larger batteries, including remote controls, flameless candles, musical cards and pocket calculators.
- If you think your child may have swallowed a battery, seek immediate help from a medical professional. Do not induce vomiting or give your child any food or drink unless so advised by a medical professional.
- Recognize symptoms of ingesting a battery, which may include coughing, drooling or discomfort.
