Thank you so much for your post…. I can now sleep tonight and it taught me a HUGE lesson! Wait till he turns months old. Those are the worst years.
But it all gets a little easier when they turn year old and you get them off to college and have the house to yourself. Crazy or what! I called Poison Control once when my son he had just turned 3 ate an adult stool softener pill. The woman was trying to keep her giggles under wraps and was as cool as a cucumber.
Those operators must get all sorts of wacky moms like me calling! It was the smallest amount, just out of my fingernail. I have a friend who works for poison control. She has lots of stories to tell anonymously, of course — privacy is paramount. Mine grabbed my vagisil cream when I went to pee real quick. Thank god for that service! Being a mom is scary stuff! My goodness!! This site is so helpful. Incase of next time I will call poison control since I know their service is free.
Oh my goodness, I am so glad I just read this! My daughter just did the same exact thing! Same cream too! I feel better now. Gave her a bath on the area where i get her dressed was the cream i applied and closed the lid i literally walked a straight line to grab her jammies and turned around to her with the cap open and in her mouth with cream so i quickly grabbed it away and took a baby wipe to scoop it off her tongue put her back in the tub with diaper on and all fast as i could to rinse her mouth out and rebrushed her teeth.
My heart was about to fall out my chest. Still very worried even after reading so many mothers going through the same exact thing! My 20 month old just did this. We locks on our kid safety gates. He let his brother in. And my little one ate him. I also called poison control and they said he will be fine. Just an upset stomach. I called my hubby and yelled at him that we need better locks on everything. She just brushed her teeth with Preparation H, and I was worried, but thank goodness for you all!
One time she and her friend mixed nail polish and chocolate and put it in a pot and stirred it. That was 17 years ago. Thank goodness for your site!
Google just lead me here. I freaked! The culprit, my 4 year old son. I just woke him out of a dead sleep to see if he ate it or rubbed it all over himself. Finally woke him up long enough for him to tell me he squeezed the tube on the carpet in a long line and then he gave me the wad of toilet paper that he wiped it up with that was hidden under my dresser.
This kid is why I have gray hair! I love poison control too. Had to call them when the same kid, at 18 months, got my mascara, opened the tube and I found him sucking on the wand! Called poison control, told them the brand and they said he would be fine but might have a tummy ache. I just had an almost identical situation happen, with my son who will be two in October.
I let him not even considering the fact that he would be way to quick to stick it in his mouth! It was coated in his mouth, he was Greg out of the shower so I used the towel I had on hand and wiped it out of his mouth with that.
Thanks for the peace of mind! I just had the same experience except I ate it snd freaked out. Not on purpose it was on my face and I licked some off. Woke up not feeling hot and panicked. So thank you I feel a bit netter. Thanks for the post! So grateful to have found this post. My son ate a little Cortizone 10 tonight. He was extra fussy going to sleep, and that concerned me so much. Now I feel much better and can finish my wine I forgot about.
Hi I just swallowed some zerobase emollient cream by accident. Thank God for sites like this one! My 1 year old just scared me half to death! Only thing it said was external use only and keep away from children, so I asked Google what to do, thinking this would give me the number to poison control quickly, as well as hopefully tell me what to expect, Google did not disappoint!
Thank you! My son just brushed his teeth with hydrocortisone cream as well — just a small bit. He is currently rinsing it out with a ton of water and enjoying the spitting process. I assumed he would be fine, but your blog has reassured me. When I was little, my first time brushing my teeth unsupervised, I accidentally used hydrocortisone cream as toothpaste. Thank goodness for all the wonderful mothers in the world.
I enjoyed reading all these posts and could feel the love parents must have generation after generation. And for some of us it was not our child who had eaten cortisone but we the grownup who had brushed our teeth with it! Apparently I had ingested a squeeze of the tube of cortisone I keep to hand for use as needed at that station. I googled to see if I really should call the PCC and got this delightful thread.

My Son Ate Hydrocortisone Cream! By Shannon Gosney. In Blogging Randomness. Woman: How much was in the tube? Woman: What percentage was it? Was their anything else in it, like pain relievers? Me: Maybe that or less. Do not freeze it. Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them.
