Specializes in Pediatrics

See A Doctor Now: It is probable that your son got bleach in his eyes which can cause severe irritation and chemical burns to skin/soft tissues; vision can be damaged as well. Your son requires immediate care to avoid serious consequences. Please see your doctor now or go to an emergency room now.
