A. A proper assessment is required here so regarding this ith is more favourable to contact your local doctor and accordingly he will guide in a proper manner. If any more queries you can take online consultation on the platform for a detailed discussion .

A. When put in the mouth, a child usually experiences an immediate pungent taste and spits it out because it is unpleasant. If swallowed, it can cause upset stomach and possibly vomiting. The gas released from the mothball can be irritating to the eyes and nose, leading to watery eyes, runny nose and cough.
