How Can Diarrhea, Chills And Weakness Caused After Eating Calamine Lotion Be Treated?
I accidentally swallowed a dessertspoon of calamine lotion instead of Mylantana which I took for bloated stomach. I felt every symptom that is described on the net ie diarrhoea, trouble with my throat and chills then I threw up about four times. It was a silly mistake. Today I am feeling much better although rather weak. I haven t eaten anything. Should I just rest today or go to my own doctor?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of taking calamine lotion instead of Mylantana, bloating, diarrhea and vomiting 4 times.
Yes, it is necessary to go to a doctor.
Get the stool checked for infection and if present, you will be given treatment as per the findings.
It is difficult to say that one dessert spoon would cause this or not.
Keep yourself hydrated well.
Take soft bland diet, activated charcoal for its adsorptive actions.
Take banana and curds too.
