Treatment for Poisoning
Treatment for poisoning depends on the type and severity of the poison. The first step is to call emergency services or a poison control center for guidance. If the person is conscious and alert, they may be advised to drink water or milk to dilute the poison. In some cases, activated charcoal may be administered to absorb the toxin.
For more severe cases, medical professionals may use specific antidotes, perform stomach pumping (gastric lavage), or provide supportive care, such as intravenous fluids. It's crucial to identify the poison, whether it’s a chemical, medication, or natural toxin, to determine the appropriate treatment.
