What Are The Symptoms Of Mercury Poisoning In A Child?
I think my child eat Mercury while playing but she is actively playing and normal. I found Mercury on floor. I am also not sure that she eat or not. What is the symptoms , is there any check up required? She eat in afternoon times and now it s almost 2am . Is she fine? Shall I visit doctor place.
There are many types of mercury- like elementary mercury which is usually harmless , inorganic mercury which is a poisonous one can cause burning in the stomach and bloody diarrhoea and vomiting; and the third one is organic mercury which can again cause sickness if breathed in or swallowed. Well I would suggest you to take her to a doctor and should not delay.
