What Causes Vomiting After Consumption Of Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream?
my 2.5 year old daughter ingested some betamethasone dipropionate cream and has been throwing up ever since. It has been about 3 hours and we have already called poison control. They said she just gagged from the taste and that she will be fine after 1 throw up. It is now 5 throw ups later and I am scared. What do I do??

Betamethasone is a steroid which causes gastritis on oral intake. This is causing her discomfort and vomiting. Its not a serious condition. Give her an anti emetic like Syrup Ondensatron or tablet Domperidone. She should be fine after some time when the effect of the drug has subsided.
