Bezoar
Alternative names:
hairball; trichobezoar
Prevention:
If your child has had a bezoar in the past, trim the child's hair short so he or she cannot put the ends in the mouth. Keep indigestable materials away from a child that has a tendency to put items in the mouth.
Be sure to remove the child's access to fuzzy or fiber-filled materials.
