Suggest Treatment For Burning Of Stomach After Taking Diluted Detergent
Hi my boyfriend took tow large gulps of water that had diluted laundry detergent in it. The first reaction was a burning sensation. He ate some bread and drank a lot of water. This was around 12 midnight. Now he is complaining of a stomach ache. Should he go to an emergency room?
