Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Odomos contains a neurotoxic substance that can cause symptoms including stomach upset. If it is more than 4 hours after he could have taken it, stomach wash would not be helpful. If he is ok at the moment you can wait and observe and no need to worry. In any case if he has not ingested it, there is not much to be concerned. But in case of any sort of complications, rush to a hospital. Please do not try to cleanse his stomach on your own.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
