Can Small Amount Of Bleach Cause Any Problem In Kids?
10 month old daughter had a few sips of water that contained a small amount of bleach. That was this morning at daycare. The staff called the poison control and explained what happened. They said she would be fine. It was a 5 gallon bucket of water mixed with less than a fourth cup of bleach. Should I take her to the emergency room?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
As it is diluted in almost 20 liters of water and the amount of bleach is very small, I do not thick she will have any problem.
Should any symptoms develop, then only you need to take her to ER.
As long as the baby is normal and fine you need not worry.
usually 24-48 hours of observation will do.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
