Hi, thanks for sharing your son's health concerns with HCM!
If I were his treating Doctor for this case of accidental swallowing of some chemicals, I would like to assure him that not to worry at all and just follow some tips and it will go away!

give him some antacids / anti-ulcer drugs like famotidine and bland dry foods like biscuits/ popcorn followed by plenty of plain drinking water per mouth.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your son good health.


all the best!
