Suggest Treatment For Accidental Ingestion Of Lip Balm By An Infant
My ten month old baby just are some blistex Medex lip balm. The container had 7g in it but it s impossible to tell how much he infested.... 2g? It was all over his hands but when I caught him he had it up to his mouth and his tongue was in it. it was about fifteen minutes ago and he seems completely normal.... I cleaned out his mouth, washed his face and then nursed him. He doesn t seem to be feeling off at all or letharic. Normal, happy, baby on the go.

Hello,
Lip balm contains the inhalation substances and it is important to visit ER as it is not possible to guide you without looking at the child. In case there is sufficient time lapsed since your post an answer to this post the message can be ignored provided a child is active and healthy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
