Thanks for the query.
Kerosene poisoing is an emergency, you should get adimitted.
If inhaled it can cause chemical pneumonitis.
Corosive effect of kerosene can also cause perforation of stomach if taken in large quantities. So stomach wash is not indicated.
I would like to advise you to get early treatment and hope you a speedy recovery.
