What should I do if my baby accidentally ingests toilet water?

Whenever summer comes, there will be a lot of mosquitoes, which will fly all over the house and make the family unable to sleep. Especially some babies, affected by mosquitoes, always cry in the middle of the night, which will affect the baby's growth and development. At this time, parents will prepare some floral water to spray on the baby's body to prevent mosquitoes. So, what should I do if my baby accidentally swallows floral water?

What to know if your baby accidentally drinks floral water

If your baby accidentally drinks a little bit of floral water, parents should not panic. It is okay to drink a small amount of floral water by mistake, because ordinary floral water is mainly made of alcohol and essence, and contains a small amount of chelating agent (sodium citrate), antioxidant (di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) and sun-fast alcohol-soluble pigments. It is not a big deal if you just drink a little bit.

However, if the baby drinks a lot of floral water, or drinks floral water with specific effects, such as mosquito repellent floral water, then parents need to take measures to prevent the baby from being poisoned, because mosquito repellent floral water generally contains dicedlin that can kill mosquitoes. If the baby drinks too much, it may also affect the child's body. If your baby has persistent diarrhea or other symptoms of allergies and poisoning, he should be sent to the hospital for symptomatic treatment in time. If there are no symptoms, going to the hospital can only allow you to continue to observe.
