Be seen today
Contact a poison centre or urgent medical service promptly if a child swallowed the product, the amount is large or unknown, the ingestion was intentional, or the product contains medicines or other chemicals.

Does any of this apply?
Book an appointment
Arrange routine medical follow-up if a rash does not improve after the product is stopped, keeps returning with different products, spreads beyond the contact area, or shows possible infection.
Recurrent reactions may need patch testing for lanolin contact allergy.
Every sign above is quoted from the sofidex article on Lanolin poisoning. If you are not sure, err upward — it is always reasonable to be checked.
