What Should I Do As My 20 Month Old Drank The Bleach?
There is a slight chance my son (20months) got in to some lysol with bleach. It turned the sleeve of his shirt white but I have no idea if he actually drank it. I bathed him and washed his mouth out. He was totally fine for 24hours (it happened last night) but now tonight he woke up with a fever and vomiting. He had a fever and cold earlier this week. Do you think it is just the cold or could something be more serious??

immediately take him to a hospital . For these poisons chalk stirred into water, or lime-water, is the only safe and effective first-aid treatment. Milk, which contains calcium salts, should be given if no alternative is at hand. Other alkalis must never be given since they increase the absorption of the poison
