Is Swallowing 3 Ounces Of Pure, Undiluted Bleach By A Child Serious?
My 6 y/o 60 lb son swallowed approximately 3 ounces of pure, undulated bleach. He did not vomit. He drank water and ate a piece of bread. He then ate dinner and appeared to be fine, although he was aggressively mean to his little sister roughly 4 hours after ingestion. He then seemed surprised he was cruel to her as he never has been before. He also has what appears to be a rash on his face. Is this coincidence or should I contact a pediatrician?

Hi...I have just read your question. I suggest you take him to the emergency room or his pediatrician immediately. Please do not give him anything to eat or drink till then. This is a medical emergency.
