How to handle a child drinking disinfectant

Patient's question:

The child was 2 years old and drank 84. At the time, we made the child vomit. During vomiting, there were a few streaks of blood. Then we had her drink water and rinse her mouth. I sniffed the child's vomit a few times, and there was no smell of disinfectant. We went to the emergency room, and the doctor said it was nothing serious, just to wait and see. But I'm still worried. The child occasionally coughs now. What should I do? It only coughed twice, 2 eighteen years old.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad I can help you. Based on your description and your child's condition, it is likely that your child still has some throat discomfort but is reacting normally. I suggest giving your child more water to drink, or some egg white liquid to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. If you are still not completely reassured, you can have your child undergo a complete blood count. Wishing your child a speedy recovery! The above advice is for the question "Child aged 2 drank 84 and was made to vomit immediately." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
