Please never induce vomiting, even if might be your first instinct or natural reaction.
For many years this was thought to be the best course of action. Now Doctors and Poison Information Specialists advise against this, as it can cause greater problems than the ingestion itself.
> Inducing vomiting MECHANICALLY (fingers down throat) can lead to;
* Damage to the tissue in the mouth/ throat.
* Aspiration (inhaling vomitus into lungs).
> Inducing vomiting with SALT WATER EMETIC can lead to;
* An increase in the sodium concentration in the blood.
> Inducing vomiting when a corrosive substance has been ingested can result in further chemical burns as the poison moves back up from the stomach.
Both methods of inducing vomiting may require medical assessment by a GP or in Hospital. If you suspect your child may have ingested a poison:
> Stay calm.
> Take the poison away.
> NEVER INDUCE VOMITING.
> Call 01 8092166 for fast expert advice.

🔴BUTON BATTERY ingestion is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY that requires IMMEDIATE ACTION 🔴
Button batteries can cause severe injury within hours if they become lodged in the oesophagus or are swallowed.
WHY ARE THEY DANGEROUS?
🔻When a lithium battery gets stuck in the oesophagus it can generate an electric charge that can cause tissue damage and burns.
🔻Damage can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.
🔻Even 'dead' batteries can cause harm.
🔻Larger batteries in diameter are more likely to become lodged in young children.
SYMPTOMS TO WATCH FOR
🔺Dooling, difficulty swallowing or refusal to eat.
🔺Chest pain, coughing, gagging or vomiting.
🔺Unexplained irritability or crying.
🔺Wheezing or noisy breathing.
🔺Sometime, no symptoms - which makes early detection important.
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS
❌ Do not make your child vomit.
✅ Go to the nearest Paediatric Emergency Department immediately.
✅If your child is over 12 months old, give 2 teaspoons of honey every 10 minutes and up to six doses while on the way - but only if your child can swallow safely.

We are aware of current shortages affecting certain brands of salbutamol nebules (liquid salbutamol used in nebulisers). Please note that this does not affect standard blue reliever inhalers.

If you are having difficulty accessing your prescribed nebules, please speak to your pharmacist about the options available to you locally. Alternative products may be available and reimbursed under community drug schemes.

Nebulised salbutamol remains important in severe asthma attacks.

Remember: when used correctly, 10 puffs of a blue reliever inhaler through a spacer (one puff at a time) can provide a similar effect to a standard nebuliser dose.

We encourage everyone with asthma and caregivers to feel confident using a spacer device correctly.
