Should I Be Concerned About My Son Who Drunk Kerosene Oil
My son in law drunk kerosene oil and he was feeling very uneasy, retarded, feeling pain in stomach so we rushed him to the hospital and they gave few medicines we dont know and its almost 23 hours passed the incident. He is now sleeping. After having read the outcomes of drinking oil, we are very depressed. Can you help us ? Thanks
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the Day
Kerosene is known to cause chemical pneumonitis. Stomach wash is contraindicated. It only requires supportive care. If the vitals signs are stable and chest x ray is clear there seems to be no cause for concern.
