1 Answer

A. If you suspect that a child has ingested sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), it's important to take immediate action. Here are steps you should consider: 1. **Contact Emergency Services:** - Call your local emergency numberimmediately. Provide information about the situation, including the child's age, weight, and the amount of sodium bicarbonate ingested. 2. **Do Not Induce Vomiting:** - Do not attempt to induce vomiting unless specifically instructed to do so by emergency personnel or a healthcare professional. 3. **Provide Information:** - Be prepared to provide details about the product ingested, the time of ingestion, and any symptoms the child may be experiencing. 4. **Stay Calm:** - Try to remain calm. Emergency services will provide guidance on what to do next based on the specific situation. 5. **Do Not Delay Seeking Help:** - Time is crucial in such situations. Seek medical attention promptly. Ingesting sodium bicarbonate in significant amounts can lead to serious health issues, including electrolyte imbalances and disturbances in the body's acid-base balance. The severity of the situation depends on the amount ingested and the child's age and weight. While waiting for emergency services, avoid giving the child anything to eat or drink unless directed by medical professionals. Keep the product's packaging or container for reference. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult with healthcare professionals or emergency services in cases of poisoning or ingestion of potentially harmful substances.
