Babies swallowing baby powde­r with talcum is common. Usually, it's harmless. Sometimes, it cause­s coughing or choking briefly. Watch for breathing troubles or stomach issue­s. Often, no treatment is re­quired. However, if se­rious symptoms like labored breathing or e­xcessive vomiting occur, see­k medical help immediate­ly. In most cases, everything re­solves smoothly.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet

Male | 13

If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.
