How To Treat Vomit,excessive Sleep And Irritation In A 11 Months Old Child?

My 11month old son got hold of some White King toilet cleaner. I don t believe he drank any as I could not smell it on his brath. That was 2 days ago and he seems fine. Today he has starting vomiting, he is sleeping alot and is very irritable. Could this be related or is it more likely that he caught a virus from his older brother who was sick about a week ago

Hi
Welcome to the HCM

It's very unlikely due to the toilet cleaner poisoning as they usually present within 1st 24 hours of ingestion. It seems to be due to viral illness which might have been transmitted by his brother. Don't worry as most viral infections are self limiting and recover within few days. They just need symptomatic treatment.
So you may give him acetaminophen in case of fever spikes and repeat at 6-8 hours interval if fever persists. Give an antiemetic such as domperidone or ondansetron for vomiting. Offer regular feeds and fluids to prevent weakness and dehydration.
Hopefully this will be useful. I will be glad to help you in any other child related queries.
Take care
