What Happens If A Child Swallows Marker Ink?
MY 2 YEARS OLD, HAD JUST SWALLOED MARKER INK. IT WAS A VERY DARK BLUE ALMOST PURPLE, AND THE COLORING DOES NOT COME OUT OFF HER TOUNGE AND TEETH. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND NERVOUS ABOUT IT... WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HER IS MY WORRIED, DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS?

Hi, thanks for your question. if your child has swallowed the ink from a marker pain then it is unlikely to cause any other problem other than staining which takes some time before fading away. marker ink if taken in larger quantities can cause stomach upset. you should see a doctor if she develops any other symptom
