Household cleaners, pool chemicals, drain openers, and workplace products can injure the eyes, skin, lungs, and stomach in minutes. ER of Mesquite – Emergency Room is open 24/7 at 1080 E Cartwright Rd Ste 100, Mesquite, TX 75149. Our ER doctors rinse and decontaminate, check breathing, and treat chemical burns. Walk in anytime, no appointment needed.
Call 911 or Poison Control first if: Someone is struggling to breathe, unresponsive, having a seizure, or has swallowed a chemical. Poison Control is free and open 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222. Bring the product container with you to the ER.
Not every splash needs the ER, but many do. Come in if a chemical was swallowed, splashed in the eyes, left a burn on the skin, or was breathed in with coughing, wheezing, or chest tightness.
Children, strong products such as bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, and oven cleaner, and any exposure that causes pain or breathing trouble should be checked. If breathing is the main concern, see our breathing problems treatment page.
A chemical burn in the eye is a time-sensitive emergency. Start flushing right away with lukewarm running water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Hold the eyelids open, remove contact lenses if you can, and do not rub the eye.
Keep rinsing while someone drives you to the ER. Our team continues irrigation, checks the eye, and coordinates a referral to an eye specialist when needed.
If a child swallowed bleach or another cleaning product, stay calm and act quickly. Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. Do not make your child vomit and do not give anything to drink unless Poison Control tells you to.
Wipe or rinse the mouth with water, then bring your child and the container to the ER. Call 911 if your child has trouble breathing, drooling, repeated vomiting, or is unusually sleepy. Our team checks breathing, examines the mouth and throat, and monitors your child. For stomach symptoms afterward, see our abdominal pain treatment page.
Mixing bleach and vinegar releases chlorine gas, which irritates the eyes, throat, and lungs. The same danger comes from mixing bleach with ammonia or with other cleaners. If you smell a sharp chemical odor, leave the area and move to fresh air right away.
Come to the ER for coughing that will not stop, wheezing, a burning throat, or shortness of breath. Never mix cleaning products, and open windows when you clean.
A chemical burn on the hands or skin can keep damaging tissue until the chemical is rinsed away. Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry, brush off any dry powder, and rinse with running water for 15 to 20 minutes.
Burns may look red, blistered, swollen, or white and leathery. Our ER team cleans the area, treats pain, dresses the burn, and coordinates specialist follow-up for deeper burns. For follow-up on skin injuries, see our wound care page.
Symptoms of breathing chemical fumes include coughing, wheezing, burning eyes, nose, and throat, chest tightness, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, and nausea. Symptoms can worsen hours after exposure.
Our team checks your oxygen level and lungs and provides oxygen and breathing treatments when needed. We use on-site lab testing when blood work helps guide care.
As a freestanding emergency room, your visit follows a clear path. You arrive and are seen right away by our team. Our ER doctors complete an emergency assessment. We rinse and decontaminate as needed, check breathing and oxygen, and treat burns and symptoms.
