What To Do If Accidentally Swallowed Calamine Lotion?
my mum accidentally swallowed a couple mouthfuls of calamine lotion. she is suffering from upset stomach and only alerted me of this mistake approximately 2 hrs or so after the ingestion what should i do? I made her drink water and i have given her a glass of milk so far.

Hi,
You can continue to give her warm water and let her drink her at once (around 2 liters). You will see that she will vomit within half an hour.
Milk will slow down absorption. After vomiting, you can continue giving her milk. If the symptoms will worsen, then, should send her to ER for further evaluation.
Wish her fast recovery!
