HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the history of swallow of chemical agent, even if it is the small quantity still it can not be taken as granted for any thing and it is better to see the ER such case cannot be judge at home for anything, certain chemical agents are there that can induces the effects in late stage, without the clinical examination it can not be said anything, better to see the ER hope this information helps.
