Since your child spat it out immediately and no piece was swallowed, risk is usually low — but naphthalene can be toxic, so observe carefully. —Do right now: -Do not induce vomiting. -Do not give milk/oily food/ghee to “neutralize” it. -Give a few sips of plain water only if child is fully alert. -Keep the naphthalene ball/packet aside and note the time of exposure. —Go to emergency immediately if any symptom appears: vomiting, stomach pain, headache, drowsiness, confusion, breathing difficulty, bluish lips, fever, seizures, yellow eyes/skin, dark/cola-colored urine, or reduced urine. Naphthalene toxicity can cause GI symptoms and, rarely, blood-cell breakdown especially in children or G6PD deficiency; some effects may be delayed. — so for proper evaluation take him to the hospital as soon as possible for proper check up and under observation
