Should I Take My Toddler To The ER After He Accidentally Swallowed Some Clotrimazole Cream?

Hi. When i went to get my sons milk, my 16 month old put the clotrimazole 1% cream tube in his mouth, pierced it and I looked and he was smacking his mouth. I washed his mouth with water. Should I take him to the ER? So you think it was enough yo hurt him? Thank you!

Hello,

The most common symptoms of swallowing an antifungal cream includes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. An overdose of the cream will lead to serious adverse effects, so it is advisable to visit ER and get checked.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
