Hi, My 2.5 Years Old Child Drank About 12-15 Ml

My 2.5 years old child drank about 12-15 ml Ondem Syrup. What should I do? Should I be worried?
Rush her to her doctor/to ER to evaluate &treat untoward reaction.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX world 2000,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
Ondem is medicine for controlling nausea,vomitting .It contains the medicine Ondensetron..which is to be given to babies with utmost care..
the amount she has consumed is many times more than recommended dose.
Overdose of the Ondem can result in side effects like drowsiness, agitation to muscle stiffness ,seizure like condition.
Though the range of side effect have personal variations, considering her age&the large dose she has consumed...
*I would advise to take her to her doctor urgently or rush her to ER for ontime majors for preventing/treating the untoward reaction.
I hope you get my point.Anyfollow up query is welcome..but at the moment taking her to expert is of utmost importance.
Thanks


Yes he needs check up by an expert.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the follow up query.
Yes.. again considering hois age &dose taken by him....I still feel you take him for check up by hia pediatritian...just to exclude other possible side effects(like that on heart functioning..
I didn't mention it before..
..not to scare you .Fortunately he does not show common side effects..(either he is strong enough to over come OR the medicine was after expiery date)but it's worth excluding other effects too.
I hope that helps..Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
