Dr. Jay Park answered

No treatment needed: Ingestion of small to modest amount of soap and soap products are usually harmless. The child may experience minor gastrointestinal symptoms, i.e., stomachache, vomiting, or diarrhea. If large quantities are ingested, consultation with a poison control center would be advised.
