What should I do if my child accidentally drinks nail polish? I'm really worried and wondering how quickly we need to see a doctor. Are there any home remedies we can try if we can't get to a hospital right away?

I'm worried about my 4-month-old baby's feet and hands. They're often wet and sweaty, especially when he's sleeping or feeding. It's more than what seems normal to us. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it normal for babies this age?
