Patient's question:
Hello doctor, what are the hazards to the body if I accidentally drink slaked lime water? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, lime water is alkaline, and drinking it can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing stomach ulcers. If your consumption is not large, it will not have a significant impact on your body. You can drink a little vinegar to neutralize the alkalinity of the lime water. If you drink a large amount, you should induce vomiting as soon as possible. If induction is unsuccessful, you need to seek medical attention promptly for gastric lavage treatment to avoid harm to your body.
