Suggest Remedy For Accidental Consumption Of Benzalkonium Chloride

Soo I came home from school yesterday and got a little thirsty, so I took the water bottle that was on the table I drank it all but I must say it tasted weird.When my Little sister came home she ask me if I had seen the water bottle and I told her I drank it.But apparently that water bottle was a part of a project in chemistry, so the bottle was filled with 1/6 Benzalkonium Chloride (from a Clair's ear car solution bottle)My stomach have been hurting and my skin is really scratchy, but otherwise nothing else have happened What should I do??

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and am sorry for the situation you are in.

I highly recommend to go to ER and to seek immediate medical treatment.

The very first thing I usually advise my patients is to provoke vomiting within the first 2 hours after accidental ingestion of any "weird" food/drink.
Vomiting will help empty the stomach, thus, you'll be suffering a few side effects.

You have drunk all the liquid in the bottle, without provoking vomiting,So, I highly recommend to go to ER to seek immediate treatment, don't wait any longer at home.
