I gave my son lots of liquids like water, juice and my milk..30 minutes after the incident, he vomited and there were small green oil like substance on it., He is not showing any symptoms as of now and he is sleeping peacefully my i am really worried that something might happen to him cause of that and i don t know im really panicung.. please help me and please advise me what possible things should i be cautious with or what symptoms should i need to notice,.. please please. Thanks you. Doctor: HI...usually any oily substance which is swallowed has to be noted whether it is volatile or not. As you say it is anti flatulent so it is definitely not volatile. So do not panic. But as it not a consumable substance beyond a certain dose,  I suggest you take him to the physician or nearest emergency room.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
