What should I do if my daughter has ingested Dieffenbachia and her lips are swollen?

Patient's question:

8 My daughter accidentally ingested Dieffenbachia, what should I do? Her lips are swollen and she keeps crying!!! About the previous treatment and effects: No matter how much help was given: How can my daughter be okay?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby has ingested Dieffenbachia, and now the lips are swollen, indicating that the baby has experienced mild poisoning again. This should be taken seriously.
Medical advice: The juice and stems of Dieffenbachia are toxic. Whether it's adults or children, if they ingest it, they may show signs of poisoning again. Currently, the baby's lips are only swollen, which is not yet particularly severe. It is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor immediately, test the levels of toxic components in the blood, and then proceed with treatment. If this is delayed, the consequences will become more serious.
