Poisoning in children

Child poisoning accounts for an increasing proportion of consultations provided by the Toxicological Information Center (TIS). Of particular

risk is toddlerhood with its typical features concerning the range of noxious factors that may harm the child, depending on the particular

age and related skills. Proper first aid in child poisoning requires staying calm and obtaining as accurate information as possible regarding

the accident. Telephone consultation with the TIS requested by a lay person or an attending physician in case they are not familiar with

a particular substance will provide instructions on first aid measures and subsequent steps.
