HELP please - son has just swallowed shampoo! What do I do?!!

[bohemianbint]

I don't reckon it was loads, but some...and he looks a bit shocked by it.

Is it dangerous? What should I do? Please help!

I doubt it's dangerous but call NHS 24 for advice.

how old is he and how much did he swallow?

Pretty sure it will be OK. DD ate a liquitab once and it did irritate her stomach a bit - some rather frothy vomit - but she was fine. The NHSdirect website is good. Look under 'poisons' (don't panic) to see what the advice is.

Should be fine. Daren't tell you what the DTs have swallowed etc in their mere (almost) 4 years on this planet. Sigh..........

yep ring nhs direct...... does it have an 'in event of swallowing contact.....' warning on the bottle?

Here you go.

Applies for non-medicated shampoo (and liquitabs...).

Thanks everyone for speedy replies! It was a bit of Sunsilk - I don't reckon it can have been much, it really smells strong and he didn't seem too impressed...

Thanks for that link, TellusMater. I think i'll go with the not panicking, water and observation bit.

It's not my first time on that page...

Really is a learning curve, isn't it...
