Hello,
Swallowing bleach is rarely a life-threatening condition. I suggest going to the emergency room for evaluation.
Take the container containing the bleach when going to the hospital. If you notice severe vomiting or difficulty breathing your child needs immediate attention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
