Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She may consumed hydrochloric acid, which may lead to corrosion of stomach epithelium and ulcer formation. In this conditions you may need not to be done stomach due to its corrosive Ness. Need Upper GI endoscopy to know about ulceration or adhesion. Use Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Please consult your gastroentrologist he will do upper GI scopy and treat you accordingly.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since already two days passed, no role for stomach washes there. More over harpic is not corrosive and not that much lethal. As of now drink plenty of water. She can take antispasmodic drugs like hyoscine and antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole. The symptoms will improve in couple of days. If symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist and get an endoscopy done.
