Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my 17 month old has swollowed baby oil. I had my back turned fot literally about five seconds and it was gone from the side and tipped upside down in his mouth. I dont know how much, it could have just been a few drops but when I tilped it upside down it came out quite fast. He did a couple of little coughs like the taste was horrid and hasnt coughed since. I called poison controll and they told me to monitor him but since then I have read that it can cause death. I am now extreemly worried. This happened this evening so I kept him awake as long as I could and am now sleeping with him. Do you know the signs I should be looking for? How could I know if its fatal? Should we go to the hospital? Thank you for your time :)
