What to expect at the emergency roomA trip to the emergency room may not be necessary. The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. A laxative may be given to help the wax move quickly through the gastrointestinal tract and prevent a bowel blockage.
Expectations (prognosis)How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Because candle wax is considered nonpoisonous, recovery is very likely.
