Hello there, Thank you for reaching out. From your history, it appears that you accidentally ingested a very small amount of petrol. Since you experienced only mild throat irritation and a bitter taste initially, and you’re currently feeling fine without cough, breathing difficulty, vomiting, or chest pain — it’s reassuring. Most likely, the petrol only touched your throat and food pipe and did not reach your lungs. However, it’s important to stay alert for any new symptoms over the next 24–48 hours, such as cough, breathing discomfort, chest pain, or fever. These could rarely indicate a small amount of aspiration into the lungs. For now, drink plenty of fluids (preferably water or milk), avoid spicy or oily food, and rest well. You seem to have escaped any serious toxicity.
Next Steps
Observe yourself for the next 48 hours. If you develop cough, chest tightness, breathlessness, fever, or vomiting, visit the nearest hospital or emergency department immediately -a chest X-ray may be needed to rule out chemical pneumonitis.Otherwise, no specific treatment is required, and you can continue your routine activities.
Health Tips
Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol or irritant foods for a couple of days. It’s safe to celebrate Diwali as usual — just be cautious and stay alert for any warning signs as mentioned above. Wishing you and your family a very happy Diwali!!!
