How To Prevent The Baby After Eating An Insect Repelant Lotion?

hi i just want to ask. my baby sort of ate an insect repelant liquid lotion. but im not sure though. coz when she gagged i put my finger inside her mouth to make her vomit and she didnt. i smeeled my fingers and it just smelled nothing like the insect repelant. i had her drink water and gargle some too. is there any other way to prevent her from getting sick?

Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. You should immediately rush her to a hospital where the doctor would be able to assess her and if required give her a stomach wash. The insect repellant is a neurotoxic substance and hence she requires to be monitored. Do not try home solutions in attempt to stop her from falling sick.

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