Toothpaste Into Eyes, Immediately Rinsed. Will It Be Cured?
Hello, I've tried doing research but haven't found anything helpful. My daughter (19 months) just got my toothpaste in her eyes. I immediately rinsed them out and wiped it all away. Will she be okay? Should I have her get looked at? After she stopped crying she followed my finger with her eyes so I know she can see.. it's time for her nap so she fell asleep soon after it happened. Will she be ok? Is there anything else I can do?

Hi,
You have taken the right action when you rinsed her eyes. She may have red eyes for a few hours, they may itch and she may rub them. If this is the case, rinse them again. I can reassure you, there will be no lasting damage done.
