Poisoning
Doctor or first aid. If your child swallows something that you think may be poisonous, call the doctor immediately and ask what to do.
If you can not contact the doctor immediately, ask his secretary or telephone operator to find him or any other doctor. It talks about whether you need to do to get the baby ripped out.
If was not found within ten minutes, you should go to the nearest hospital. You or someone else will call the doctor's secretary again so the doctor can meet you at the hospital when his
is found. Ask the secretary to call the hospital and warn you that you are going to be waited for. Take with you what you think is poison, and vomit, which you can collect.
If you do not have a phone, , read the next paragraph to find out if you need to vomit the baby, and then go to the hospital or to the nearest doctor's office. Bring poison and vomiting.
Do I have to try to get the baby to vomit. The best remedy for poisoning is gastric lavage and vomiting. This is correct for most substances, except the following.
Do not induce vomiting from poisoning:
1) kerosene,
2) gasoline,
3) cleaning liquids,
4) polish liquids,
5) furniture cleaning liquids,
6) insect repellent,
7) phenol,
8) liquor,
9) ammonia,
10) quicklime,
11) strong acids( sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric) and carbolic.
Kerosene and gasoline are most dangerous when inhaled by their vapors;vomiting can make them penetrate even deeper. Acids, lye and other caustics will burn the throat on the way back, so in this case it is unreasonable to induce vomiting.
The simplest, although not always effective way to induce vomiting of is to thrust your fingers into the throat so that it chokes. Let him lie on his stomach across the bed, dangling his head down. Keep it in this position until it stops ripping. Try to collect vomit in a basin or a pan so that the doctor can analyze it. Do not be afraid to put your fingers in the throat deeper and do not be afraid of to keep them there for a few seconds, so that the child chokes. If you linger on the way inside or Back, the child can bite you. But for the time being, he can not bite. If a lot of time has passed after eating, it will be easier to vomit if you first give him a glass of water or milk.
After the baby has vomited, give me another drink, and let him vomit again.
Other ways to induce vomiting. If your child is older and agrees to obey you in order to do something unpleasant, you can give him a glass of water with a tablespoon of salt, or mustard, or soap in such quantity that the water foams. This is called an emetic. After the baby has vomited, give him another glass of vomit to rip it out again.
If you are sure that your child has swallowed something poisonous, you can not induce vomiting in one of these ways and It will take at least half an hour to get to the hospital or doctor, you can try one more way. Give the baby tinctures of the vomiting root( 2 teaspoons for a child two years or older, one and a half teaspoons for a child under the age of two) if you have it in the medicine cabinet or you can get it immediately at the pharmacy. If there was no vomiting, every 10 minutes, give one more teaspoonful, no more than 6 teaspoons. Do not repeat after vomiting.
Do not neglect medical care if the child appears healthy in an hour. Some toxic substances( such as aspirin) have a delayed effect. In some cases, close medical supervision should last at least 12 hours.
