CIf a poisoning occurs the poison control center should be contacted immediately. Vomiting should not be induced without instructions to do so. Some cleaners contain chemicals that will damage the airway and esophagus if not neutralized, if the patient is unconscious or the substance is a strong petroleum product or a strong corrosive, first. Bringing the child to the emergency department or calling an ambulance is not the first thing to do because this would delay treatment. The poison control center may advise the mother to bring the child to the ER, if this is the case the mother should call an ambulance.
