(Dillsboro, Ind.) - A Dearborn County toddler has been hospitalized after ingesting a substance at a local thrift store. 

18-month-old Azana Trentman was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday. 

According to family members, the toddler was playing with a backpack in the store and found something inside the backpack and ingested it. Her dad took immediate action to clear her mouth and induced vomiting because of the unsurety of what it was. 

He tasted the substance, which tasted sweet and had a melted candy consistency. 

Azana acted normal at first but was eventually rushed to St. Elizabeth Dearborn where she was stabilized for transports to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. 

Toxicology reports indicated the substance was a fruit flavored dissolvable suboxone pill. 

As of yesterday, Azana's condition has shown no improvement despite many interventions from her care team.
