What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Ingestion Of Pepto-Bismol?
Question: My son ingested by mouth pepto-bismol less than 5 ml if I could take a wild guess. I'm so worried. What should I do or expect?
Brief Answer:
Considerations.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.
There should be virtually no problem with ingestion of such a limited amount of pepto Bismol. This should be in no way toxic to your child at his age.
There may be a small possibility of constipation but I would consider this very unlikely.
Thank you again for sending the query.
Suncerely,
