If your child has swallowed any pills, medicines, tobacco, alcohol or berries, clear his mouth of any bits he has not swallowed. Put him face down across your knee with his head lower than his hips, then put two fingers right to the back of his throat and wiggle them until he vomits. If he retches but nothing comes up, make him drink a big glass of water or milk and then try again. Do not let him lie down on his back, if he seems drowsy. This will make him even sicker. He might breathe his vomit and choke. Do not give first aid for more than three minutes. Try to take him to the hospital as soon as possible.
