Suggest Treatment For Accidental Inhalation Of Mold Cleaner Fumes
My 2 year old figured out how to open doors in the middle of the night. She left her bedroom and went in the small bathroom and shut the door. She knocked over a spray bottle of mold/mildew cleaner and it spilled, leaving her trapped with the fumes with no ventilation. She seems fine now, but should I still be concerned?

Hi... I understand your concern. But usually this type of chemical irritant inhalation may have its effect only after 6 hours of the incident and I suggest you be on the lookout for the next 48 hours. I will explain you the danger symptoms when you need to take her to the nearest Emergency Room or physician.
1. Breathing difficulty or fast breathing.
2. High grade fever.
3. Inability to feed.
4. Chest wall retractions.
5. Excessive uncontrollable cough.
