Question : We had some tile cut in our kitchen and I did not realize there was dust in our island and my daughter put her food down on it and ingested the dust from the tile cutting. What should I do, how dangerous is it?

Brief Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM, since your daughter has already ingested the food

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM, since your daughter has already ingested the food either she will get an infection, or nothing will happen. Only thing I can suggest is to give her a good probiotic liquid like Nutrolin B twice a day to build up her resistance to infection. Bananas and yoghurt will also act as binding agents. You can revert back. Regards
