little boy got hold of metanium nappy cream, URGENT

[alfiemama]

Its all over his face and looks like could have swallowed a little bit. Any ideas if harmful, I have googled and nothing, on the tube it just says keep out of reach as stains.

any advice please
He seems ok

I think he will be fine, it makes everything very yellow is all. I doubt they would authorise it as a baby cream if it was liable to hurt if swallowed in those kind of quantities.

You can ring NHS direct if you are worried, but I think he'll be fine.

Thanks flightattendant25

I actually think the same, it just says external use, they normally say seek medical help if swallowed.

I don't know, kids eh.

thanks again

My DD did this when she was about 6 months old. She ate a reasonable amount/smeared it across her chops.

I phoned Drs in a panic, they said she would be fine, nothing to worry about.

Oi Pav have you got yr kettle dear?

Thanks Pav thats very reassuring.

Sorry for hijack!

I thought this was going to say "and it's all over the carpet" at which I was going to answer (voice of experience) you're fooked.

But just eating it is fine (phew! lucky escape there )

I know what you mean, no the little divil has it all over, hair, jeans, mouth the lot.

Off to the bath he goes.

Thanks again
