Swallowing an ointment can be harmful, depending on its ingredients. Many topical ointments contain chemicals that are not safe for ingestion and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, or more severe reactions. If someone accidentally swallows an ointment, it's important to seek medical advice or contact a poison control center for guidance. Always read product labels and use medications only as directed to avoid such incidents.
