For poisoning by swallowing:
We should try to make sure that the victim has indeed been poisoned. It is not always obvious. Because some signs include chemical-smelling breath, burns around the mouth, difficulty breathing, vomiting, or unusual odors on the victim. If possible, identify the poison. For only induce vomiting if the poison control center tells you to do so. If the victim vomits, protect the airway. You must clear the victim's airway; wrap a cloth around your fingers before cleaning out his or her mouth and throat. If the victim has vomited a plant part, save the vomitus as it may allow identification by an expert who can then determine an antidote. The victim starts having convulsions, protect him or her from injury and give aid. Reassure the victim and keep him or her comfortable. Position the victim on their left side while getting or awaiting medical help. If the poison has spilled on the victim's clothes, remove the clothing and flush the skin with water. We should always call the doctor for the help first we should try to relax the victim then afterwards call the doctor.
