First, call emergency services or poison control for immediate help. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to drink. Rinse mouth with water if conscious. Monitor for difficulty breathing, seizures, or other symptoms. Do not administer any home remedies without professional guidance. Seek medical help immediately.
