1. Do Not Panic: While Boroline is not intended for ingestion, the immediate risk may be low if only a small amount was swallowed.
2. Rinse the Mouth: Encourage the person to rinse their mouth thoroughly with water to remove any remaining ointment.
3. Drink Water: If the person is conscious and not experiencing any adverse symptoms, offer them a small amount of water to help dilute the substance.
4. Monitor for Symptoms: Watch for any unusual symptoms such as:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Dizziness
5. Contact a Healthcare Professional: If any symptoms develop or if a significant amount of the ointment was ingested, contact a healthcare professional or poison control for further advice.
6. Follow Medical Advice: If directed by a healthcare professional, take the person to the hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Note:
It is essential to keep products like Boroline out of reach of children and to use them only as directed. If ingestion occurs frequently or in larger amounts, consider discussing it with a healthcare provider for further advice and prevention strategies.
