What to Do Before Seeking Medical Help
It is essential to visit your doctor immediately if you swallow gasoline or inhale its fumes. You can also visit any poison control centre for urgent help. Doctors advise people to sit correctly while drinking water to control the situation before medical help is given. It would help if you also stayed in places with good ventilation.
You can also take these steps in emergencies:
- Don’t try to be a hero. Always reach out to your health care provider.
- Avoid forcing vomit.
- Avoid giving the victim milk.
- Avoid giving fluids to an unconscious patient
- Stay away from gasoline vapours.
