How do you treat substance poisoning? What should be the first aid? Dr. Prameela (Consultant Paediatrician, KIMS Trivandrum) explains when parents bring a child with a history of axial ingestion of any of the positions, what we do is again assess the vitals of the child and we look at the child. Don't induce vomiting, this is a common mistake which majority of the people do, they put either the hand in the mouth or something else that makes the child vomit. One should never do this when one recognizes that the child has taken some poisons, please bring the child to the emergency care. What we do is assess the poison that has been taken and provide treatment accordingly.
