What Are The Adverse Effects Of Swallowing Disinfectant Cleaner?
My child swallowed shower patrol disinfectant cleaner. It was once spray from the bottle into his mouth. It has been a little over 12 hours now and he is not acting any different but his bowel movements are a light green color. He has not had any candy or anything to drink that could discolor his bowel movement. I do not know what to do. Should I wait til his next bowel movement or take him to the hospital?

Hi...Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
More importantly you need to be on the lookout for fast breathing and respiratory distress. If these things develop please take him to the nearest Emergency Room.
