What happen to the 3 months old baby if he breath in the cooking gas that was leaking at the kitchen for an hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He will be fine: As long as he has been removed from the leak and is acting fine (no vomiting, feeding ok, not breathing too fast) he will be fine. There are no long term or delayed effects from natural gas exposure. Adults often get headache, but hard to assess in infant - usually manifests as poor feeding or sleepiness.
