Sould I be worried, has this happened to you?

Question:

My 4 year old son got a hold of a bottle of baby powder and poured it all over his room and on top off his 18 month old brother. By the time I got into the room, I couldn't even see anything! I immediatly washed both kids off and kept them out of the room until I cleaned everything up and mopped like 20x's LOL, they were playing fine, and they are breathing normal, no wheezing at all, and they do not have athsma, but should I be worried still, or did I take care of it quick enough (the were only in the room no more then 5 minutes)

Answers:
You did good, I would not be worried unless you notice behavior not typical of your sons, if you do, call the pediatrician.

Yes they sound like they are fine. As long as you don't notice any problems with their breathing they should be fine!

I think they should be okay. I don't think baby powder is toxic. If they are breathing fine, that is probably a good indication also.

They will be fine, I don't think you need to worry. Baby powder is designed to be used around babies and everybody knows babies get in to everything.\

If you are still woried though try and find the number for a nurse healthline and ring and ask a nurse for her/his opinion.

No i dont think you should be worried, i mean i would keep an eye out for a slight cough, but if that happens just give then a glass of water to try to clens their system. No worries everything should be fine

There really is no harm in a Free call to the Pediatrician to rest assured. My concern would be the possible coating of the lungs with powder residue. A doctor would know for sure.
