Dear Patient,
Accidentally consuming water from a petrol-contaminated bottle can expose you to harmful hydrocarbons, even if you currently have no symptoms. Some potential effects include:
Mild irritation (petrol-like taste, smell, or nausea)
Gastrointestinal discomfort (vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain)
Respiratory issues (coughing or breathlessness if inhaled while drinking)
Toxicity concerns (if large amounts were ingested, leading to dizziness or confusion)
What You Should Do:
1. Drink plenty of fresh water to help flush out any residual petrol.
2. Monitor for symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, or breathing difficulties.
3. Avoid forcing vomiting, as petrol can enter the lungs and cause aspiration pneumonia.
4. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop severe symptoms like drowsiness, confusion, or difficulty breathing.
