Is It To Be Concerned About A Child If There Is Alcohol Swab In Mouth Accidentally?
I think my 2 year old had an alcohol swab, that was still in the package, in his mouth. The paper package was saturated, so I imagine some of the alcohol might have gotten in his mouth. He did not swallow the package, nor the swab. Should I be concerned?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
As it was saturated there is a good possibility that some alcohol might have gone into his system . I suggest you see your pediatrician immediately.
