so they can arrange for any additional treatment that may be necessary.

REFERENCES: Emergency Care vs. First Aid
44. The emergency treatment of accidental poisoning varies depending on the type of substance the child has
swallowed. What signs would help you to determine the appropriate treatment?
ANSWER: Burns around the mouth, lips and/or chin would indicate that the child has probably
ingested a strong acid or alkali substance. Treatment for this type of poisoning would
include: not giving the child anything to drink, not making the child vomit, calling the
Poison Control Center and following their instructions, observing the child closely for
signs of shock or difficulty breathing and providing treatment as necessary.
If the swallowed substance is a petroleum-based product, you would likely detect an

odor of gasoline or kerosene on the child’s breath. Treatment for this type of poisoning
would be the same as for strong acids/alkalis. The child should be transported
immediately to a hospital or emergency medical facility at once.
If neither of these signs are observed, quickly contact the Poison Control Center and
follow their instructions. Continue to observe the child closely for signs of shock or
difficulty breathing and treat as necessary.
