What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Ingestion Of Silver Sulfadiazine?
Question: My wife just mistakenly brused her teeth with silver sulfadizine. She immediately washed her mouth out several times and doesnt believe she swallowed much if any. Anything else she should do? (that is brushed)
Brief Answer:
Call poison control information
Detailed Answer:
If she washed her mouth out right away, she probably got most of it out, but in these situations it's always wise to call the poison control center for your area. They are experts in what different agents can do and how to neutralize them.
The national number is: 1 (000) 0000-0000
I am not sure about NYC numbers but I looked it up and see one for NYC as: (000) 000-0000. I am not sure if this is their emergency number. So try the first number above first.
I hope this information helps.
