What happens if a child takes too much medicine?

All medicines are poisonous. We do not advocate taking too much medicine, and we should avoid taking medicine if possible. However, babies have low body resistance and are particularly prone to colds and fevers. Once a child has a fever, parents are very worried and don’t know how to give the medicine to their children. If the child takes too much medicine, they are worried that it will harm the child or have any adverse reactions. So, what will happen if a child takes too much medicine?

What should I do if my baby takes too much cold medicine?

If the baby takes too much cold medicine and does not experience dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, rash, nausea, stomach pain, etc., there is no need to worry too much, it is not a problem. If you are really worried, you can give your child some water to dilute the medicine in the stomach.

So, how should we use medicine scientifically when our baby catches a cold? When giving children medicines to treat colds and fevers, you should not only pay attention to the dosage of each medicine given to the child, but also pay attention to the medicinal ingredients contained in the medicine. Especially when giving children synthetic acetaminophen, be sure to read the instructions carefully before taking the medicine.

Avoid taking two or three acetaminophen combination pills at the same time to prevent overdose. Although an overdose of acetaminophen may cause serious damage to organs such as the kidneys and liver, it is still a very effective drug as long as it is not taken in excessive doses or for long periods of time.

When giving medicine to babies, parents must control the dosage. Because children's resistance is very poor, if you don't pay attention, it will affect their health.

However, if the problem really occurs that the baby takes too much cold medicine, parents do not need to worry too much. If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital in time to have your child checked.
