Can Swallowing Superglue Cause Any Complication In A Child?
Hi my two years old daughter just bit a superglue. As per my wife who was there she had some glue on her face mouth and might have swallowed some! Now it has been two hours without any side effect. I am a bit worried while and wonder whether I should do something right away or observe her?
Welcome to HCM, I have gone through you query and understood your concerns, most household glues are not poisonous but you need to watch symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or other abnormalities, some severe poisoning may cause Gastric outlet obstruction (blokage of the passage from the stomach to the small intestine and large bowel) if she starts with discomfort or any complaint a doctor must be consulted. Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful Wishing you a good health Dr Tania Portelles-Driggs
