Mercury poisoning

2017-05-07 12:54:29
My 3 year old daughter was playing with mercury thermometer when no body was there by mistake she bite in the neck of the thermometer. When we noticed her, we found some small amount of mercury inside the thermometer and little amount of mercury found in the floor and I am not sure whether she swallowed it or not, but we found some broken glass pieces in her mouth, almost one and half day is over we didn't find any changes on her. If we require any diagnostic please suggest the best hospital for the treatment.
