Poisoncontrol was contacted and recommended symptomatic treatment only. The patient’s painresolved while in the emergency department. Seed and rind preparations have been used as an herbal remedy in East Asia. A number of research articles point to ongoing investigations into the antiinflammatory and possible antiviral properties of Poncirus species.
