How To Deal With Taking Colored Marker In Mouth By Toddler?

Im on the computer with my 9month old baby on my lap and didnt notice that she reached for a colored marker only until her tongue was already green!! I tried cleaning her mouth but couldn't take off everything so gave her water and breast milk. It's the 2nd time this has happened. I'm really concerned.... Please help

Don't panic.. the ingredients are volatile and gets exported and some absorbed. The absorbed chemicals will get digested by itself.. no need to do much more than what you had done earlier.

But be cautious for these things not to get repeated. On long term repeated use may lead onto neurological and developmental problems.. prevention is the best cure!!
