FAQs – Poisoning Treatment

What should I do first if someone is poisoned?

Call for emergency help immediately, do not wait to see if symptoms worsen. If it is safe, move the person away from the source of poisoning. Do not induce vomiting unless a medical professional advises it, and bring the medication, chemical container or plant sample with you to the hospital. Go directly to Satguru Partap Singh (SPS) Hospital’s emergency department, or call Dr. Virk for immediate guidance.

How quickly should treatment begin?

As quickly as possible. Many poisons cause the most damage within the first hour, so treatment should begin immediately, not after symptoms appear. Do not wait to see whether symptoms develop before seeking care.

Do you treat children with poisoning?

Yes. Dr. Virk treats poisoning in both adults and children, including accidental medication ingestion, household chemical exposure and food poisoning in paediatric patients, with prompt, age-appropriate treatment.
