Oh crap, DD decided to swig the shampoo when my back was turned.

It was Johnson Baby shampoo. She got a whole mouthful and swallowed some.

It made her cough and retch alot. I sloushed her mouth clear and she was a bit sick. Then she had a bottle and went to bed.

Problem is that I can still hear her coughing away. Do you think her chest was just irritated by the earlier coughing fit, or might there be a chemical in the shampoo that is making her wheeze?

Should I get her out of bed?

Does it say on the back of the bottle, "If swallowed,...."? Sometimes they do.

Is she allergic to lots of stuff generally? Or asthmatic?

Oh dear, maybe I should have sought medical advice. The thing is I have never, ever found NHS the slightlest bit helpful.

Have just been up and given her more milk. If that doesn't help I will call me Paeditrician friend (a last resort as she may soon have grounds to sue me for harassment ).

Sorry MrsDepp, didn't see you there. She has a severe cows milk allergy but no as asthma (touch wood). No helpful advice on bottle.

Then I probably wouldn't be overly concerned, check the Johnson's website maybe? Or do they have a helpline? I bet they must get asked this pretty often!

Asked about asthma/allergies, cause I have both, imagine I'd have quite an irritated chest after getting a mouthful of shampoo. Probably the perfume... Getting rid of the taste/smell might well help so hopefully the milk will sort her out.
