What should I do if a child accidentally eats a small amount of camphor balls?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, mothballs have certain toxic effects and should not be ingested in principle. If the baby accidentally eats some, it is recommended to induce vomiting promptly. If the amount is small and it has been a while since it was eaten, drinking more water to promote excretion is sufficient. If necessary, it is advisable to have the baby checked at the hospital.
