Baby was looking for something to drink, but didn’t realise he picked up a bottle from under the sink that was NOT for drinking! Ingestion of chemicals can be very dangerous so he shouted for Doc who came to help! He has called for medical help and offered Sven sips of water to drink. Elsa told Doc to make Sven throw up, but Doc knows this is dangerous and can cause more problems so he politely declined (and has bought her a Mini First Aid course for Christmas!) Doc has kept the bottle nearby so he can pass on information to the medical team!
❗️Remember! ❗️
▪️Accidental ingestion of chemicals is quite common with young children but even everyday items such as cleaning products and washing capsules can cause harm
▪️Always seek medical help following an incident
▪️Don't make anyone sick as this can put the airway in danger
▪️Monitor the casualty closely as they may become drowsy or go unresponsive
▪️Try to note what chemical was ingested, how much was ingested and when
▪️Prevention is better than cure so try to keep any chemicals out of reach of children!
