Does Licking Clorox From A Syringe By A Toddler Require Medical Attention?

My 2yro daughter was playing with a medicine syringe. I had a bit of water with some Clorox to mop the floor. I started to mix the soup I was making and turned around to see her licking the syringe. She had dipped it into the water with clorox! I have her milk and have been monitoring. She hasn't vomited and seems to be ok. This happened 30min ago. Should I be at the ER already?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if no symptoms are there and you are not sure about this then it is nothing to worry but ideally it should not be taken as granted and better to see the ER it is just on safety basis, it is good to see the ER than not, because it is kind of risk taking if not seeing the ER hope this information helps.
