Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI...usually any oily substance which is swallowed has to be noted whether it is volatile or not. As you say it is anti flatulent so it is definitely not volatile. So do not panic. But as it not a consumable substance beyond a certain dose, I suggest you take him to the physician or nearest emergency room.
