Is there a risk if a 3-year-old child accidentally ingests the residual water of rat poison?

Answer

If a 3-year-old child accidentally ingests the residual water of rat poison, it is typically recommended to monitor the child closely for six hours. If no adverse symptoms appear during this period, it is generally considered safe and the child can be sent home. It is advised to provide the child with light food during this time.

Wishing you both health!
