Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The mosquito repellent cream usually contains a chemical called N-diethyl-benzamide or a similar analogue. This chemical causes weakness in the muscles and if the dosage is heavy it can cause difficulty in respiration as the respiratory muscles get weak.
I would strongly recommend you to take your child to the Emergency Room and get examined for danger signs and manage specifically.There is no home remedy you can try on a 10 month old child safely in home.
Do rush to the ER now

Hi,
Mosquito repellent usually contains N-diethyl-benzamide or a similar analogue.This may in some brands be combined with mosquito contact inhalant poisons like allothrin which causes muscle and respiratory weakness.
In some brands like ODOMOS N-diethyl-benzamide is a lone content , though non toxic it can elicit a allergic or anaphylactic response in some if consumed orally or mixed with blood stream.
Since its a baby 10 months old, I would consider it would be safe for him to be examined once just to be sure there is no impending signs of allergy or stomach upset.
