It has already been 4 hours since she consumed , but still she seems fine . what should i do , do i still go to the doctor. Will it react later ?

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (38 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
A clinical observation could have been helpful

Detailed Answer:
Hopefully she would remain fine. However, mercury is a poisonous element and I would strongly insist on refraining from its intake. The suggestion for seeking medical assistance is to make sure that things are fine. Based on clinical correlation the ER doctor could also place her under observation.
