Hello and thanks for the query

It is a caustic substance (meaning it will eat away at the esophagus and other XXXXXXX organs)
If your child has definitely drank it then She needs to be monitored right away in the hospital as it can cause respiratory depression and blurring of vision in the child.
You must immediately rush to the hospital.
Thanks and best of luck.
