What Are The Adverse Effects Of Harpic Toilet Cleaner Consumption?
Please take her to hospital to treat any serious effects of harpic intake
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Harpic toilet cleaner contains hydrochloric acid as one of its contents and this is a corrosive acid. It will harm the throat, esophagus and stomach. The result can be ulcer formation or strictures over the next few days to weeks. Right now it can cause bleeding from ulcers and scar formation in the later stages which will prevent her from swallowing food by causing obstruction in the path of ingested food.
It is important to know how much she drank and a small amount might not cause all the problems associated with acid ingestion.
As a son and concerned family member, you must take help from others around you and take her to hospital and get her checked for any serious effects of harpic consumption. Doctors will give her medicines to prevent the bad effects of harpic ingestion and also give antibiotics for treating any infection due to the harpic she drank.
Also please take her to a psychiatrist to know why she took such a step and treat any mental illness should she have any.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
