<s>[INST] Hi Dr, My daughter is 19 months old, she played with paint 2 days ago around 18H00, she dipped her hands and and used some as lipstick. After we saw this we used paint remover to clean her, around 23h00 she started vomiting but the following morning she looked ok, she started getting worse yesterday as she now has diarrhea, we took her to the doc this morning and she was given an injection. Was this caused by paint and paint remover? If so were we late to get help? What harm could it have done to her? Please help, I didnt think it was a big deal until I read on the internet about poison, I wish I knew better, I could have acted otherwise. Regards, Thenjiwe [/INST] HI INGESTION OF PAINT IS DANGEROUS IN KIDS AS IT CONTAINS LEAD AND OTHER HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS  WHICH RESULT IN GASTRITIS/ULCERATIONS OF ESOPHAGUS/STOMACH AND ALSO RESULT IN LOOSE STOOLS.IF INHALED, IS MORE DANGEROUS. IF SHE PERSIST TO HAVE VOMITING, PLEASE GET HER ADMITTED AND NEEDS CLOSE OBSERVATION BY GIVING ONLY IV FLUIDS AND NOT BY MOUTH.needs antacids also. So, PLEASE WATCH HER CLOSELY.Happy to help you further </s>
