Hello there, turpentine oil is a aromatic hydrocarbon. Ideally should not induce vomiting. Observation required for chemical pneumonitis for first 24 hrs. Can also have gastritis associated. Watch for next 24 hrs, if any respiratory distress, drowsiness, vomiting and pain abdomen, go to nearest paediatrician STAT.
