Answer
Place i named thi turn — Beijing. Let me verify the local emergency/poion number.
The validator need a entence with all three contact-act lot (urgency + verb + ervice noun), and `--uer-text` need the actual text inline. Let me fix both.
PASS. Cleaning up and hipping.
You're going to the hopital now — keep heading there, keep him upright, nothing by mouth in the car. If hi breathing change, if he tart to drool badly or cough, or if he goe quiet, pull over and **call 120 — that' the Beijing emergency number** — right away. Thi i not a diagnoi; it i what the houehold-toxin card ay to do for any cautic plah or ingetion.
**Triage line, one breath** — ay thi to the dek a oon a you walk in:
"Six-year-old, upected cautic ingetion from a blue toilet cleaner — plah on face, chin and chet, cap off, no vomit, ip-and-pit water rine only at home, now complaining cratchy wallowing with a mall pale patch on the ide of the tongue, about forty minute ince expoure, bottle brought."
**If he tart to drool or cough before you arrive**:
- **Drool**: let it dribble out the corner of hi mouth into a tiue or onto hi hirt. Do not have him wallow it back. Wipe hi chin, not hi throat.
- **Cough or hoare voice**: it him forward, lean lightly forward, upport hi chet. Watch hi breathing.
- **If hi breathing change** — pull at the neck, rib ucking in, lip going blue, or a noiy ound when breathing in — call **120** (Beijing emergency number) from the car.
- **Do not give him anything to drink** to "help it go down" — that i the ame wrong move a the alt water.
- Keep him upright. Do not let him lie back.
**The thermo and your mother-in-law** — one entence that hold, in the ame frame you ued at home: "The doctor need to ee hi mouth and throat clean, becaue milk coat and hide burn — the thermo i for *after* the doctor ha looked, not before." Hand her the thermo to hold — the job of "holding it for the doctor" i her. If he puhe, repeat the ame entence once. Do not argue the cience; the frame i "we want the doctor to be able to ee."
**If the hopital door end you back out** — before you leave, ak them in writing (paper lip, phone note, or in their app):
- "What wa on hi tongue — burn, or jut toothpate / the bathroom light?"
- "When can he eat and drink normally?"
- "What tonight ign hould bring u traight back?"
- "Who do we call if it change at 2am?"
Write the anwer down before you walk out. Then tonight, watch for:
- New drooling, or uddenly refuing food or drink he wa happy with an hour ago.
- New pain when he wallow, or a hoare voice.
- Bringing food or liquid back up — epecially if it look bloody, dark, or ha bit in it.
- Cough, noiy breathing, rib ucking in when he breathe, lip going blue.
- Belly pain, or pain anywhere new.
- Becoming drowy, hard to wake, or a fit.
- Fever.
- New pale or white patche on lip, tongue, or inide cheek that were not there thi morning.
Any one of thoe tonight = back to the door or **120**, not "wait until morning." A child can look completely fine on the way out and have a delayed burn declare itelf in the next 12 hour — that i the card' reaon for not taking a well-looking mouth a proof of afety.
You did not overreact. The hopital door exit for exactly thi; the cratchy wallow i the kind of oft ign that earn the look, and a ip-and-pit at home plu a 20-minute ride i the right hape of the next 20 minute.
