Abstract

Lacto-calamine lotion is most commonly used as a household skin moisturizer. Accidental ingestion has been very rarely reported in the literature. If ingested, the patient usually develop minor symptoms such as vomiting and gastrointestinal disturbances. We aim to report a case of Lactocalamine poisoning which lead to neurological disturbances in the form of seizures and irritability along with constitutional symptoms such as gastrointestinal disturbances and vomiting. The child was managed conservatively and kept under observation for 72 hours, after which the child was discharged with follow-up advice.
