Should I Be Concerned About Accidental Consumption Of Floor Cleaner?
Hi, I am Winnie. My 20-month baby girl was taking shower in the bath tub, she took the floor cleaner and poured it into the bath tub and played with it. The dad was with her. While he turned to clean the basin, that’s when she did that. When he smelled the floor cleaner, he quickly took her out and showered her again. She might touched the water and put at her mouth and tasted it. It’s one hour after the incident, she seems okay. Is there any symptom that I should watch out or anything that I can do at home? Or should I send her to hospital?

Hello. I just read through your question.
It is very unlikely that she swallowed an amount that is toxic. If she did, you would have noticed her being sick right away. The worst that might happen at this point is some mild abdominal discomfort. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about and no need to rush to the doctor.
