What Could Be The Result Of Drinking Kerosene?
My son in law drunk kerosene oil and he was feeling very uneasy, retarded, feeling pain in stomach so we rushed him to the hospital and they gave few medicines we dont know and its almost 23 hours passed the incident. He is now sleeping. After having read the outcomes of drinking oil, we are very depressed. Can you help us ? Thanks

Hello
In my clinic I have treated so many patient .
As 23 hours passed , so need not to worry .
Only mild degree nausea will the there .
After effect of kerosene poisoning is INHALATION PNEUMONIA , that too in few cases due to inhalation of toxic fumes of oil.
In my opinion don't bother , just wait and watch , if any symptoms appear ,consult the treating physician .
Only one thing I want to say that usually kerosene poison is not toxic.
