Sri Lanka, Feb. 13 -- A 9-year-old girl has been admitted to the Balangoda Base Hospital after fainting and vomiting upon drinking a bottled soft drink from a restaurant in Kiridigala, Balangoda.

After the girl fell ill, her father also consumed some of the drink and experienced similar symptoms, leading to his hospitalization.

The two, residents of Ketandola, Ratnapura, had stopped at the restaurant while traveling to the Nanperiyal area of Balangoda. The father reported a burning sensation in his mouth after drinking it.

Public health inspectors later inspected the establishment and sealed the remaining stock of the drink.
