A member asked:
My 13 month old son ingested part of a little tea candle. should i take him to the doctor, or just watch for strange bowel movements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Observation: Ingestion of small amounts of candle wax is unlikely to pose serious health risk. Observation for unusual symptoms would be a reasonable course of action.
