Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

Some amount of absorption also takes place from mouth. Ideally, she should have gone to the doctor that day itself.
However since she hasn't experienced anything since last one week, it can be presumed that there is no danger. Probably a very small quantity of poison was absorbed which didn't cause any harm and must be already excreted by now.

But remember that if she shows any slightest type of symptoms like giddiness, tiredness etc, then take her to a doctor immediately.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any queries.

Wish you good health.
With regards,
Dr. Sridhar
