Thanks for follow up, she can receive poisonous after drinking chemicals. You should stimulate vomiting reflex by making pressure on the radix of tongue or give to drink water with table spoon for vomiting reflex. Then give to her 1 tablet charcoal or other absorbent and then pplenty of water. If she will not have nausea,vomiting, headache, malaysia, then don't worry. Take care
