Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. You must give him Charcoal -1,5 tablet daily for 5 days for absorption toxins and kerosene, keep him hydrated with plenty of water, check blood and urine tests to exclude any toxical complications.
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 you and baby good health.
