My 2 year old drank sunflower oil. should i be worried ?

Probably okay: This is essentially a concentrated form of fat in the form of an oil. Unless he is allergic to the plant it is likely okay. I would contact the poison control number at 1-800-222-1222 for further information.

Observe: If oil is aspirated into the lung, it may cause inflammation and pulmonary damage. if there is any respiratory difficulty, please see your pediatrician right away. A call to poison control is also a good idea.
