Suggest Remedies For Accidental Ingestion Of Phenyl
Question: I have taken approximately 10-15ml domestic phenyl, what should I do
Brief Answer:
No need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
1. A small amount of Phenyl liquid is not dangerous, but it can irritate the delicate lining (mucosa) of the airway, lungs, food pipe and stomach.
2. The irritation or allergy due to phenyl may lead to internal swelling after a few hours, hence I recommend that you consult a doctor immediately, especially if you have cough or difficulty in breathing, in which case you may be admitted for observation.
3. Have a few tablespoons of Liquid Paraffin IP (medical grade) if available to dilute the traces of phenyl and to soothe the internal linings.
4. I will again stress that since the quantity was under 20 ml, there should be no major cause for worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
