How are children treated for mushroom poisoning?
If the child has not vomited, he/she may be given syrup of ipecac, an emetic (an agent that causes vomiting), or activated charcoal to induce vomiting. The physician will check the child’s vital signs and consult a local mushroom expert to determine whether or not the mushroom is poisonous and whether any other treatment is necessary.
