Question : Hello
My 3.5 year old son had a runny nose around 2 weeks ago.
I gave him lorinase for night for 5 days but mistakenly I gave him 5 ml not 3 ml like I should
It's around 7 days after treatment and he looks fine but I'm worry he will have any sight effect because overdose.
Is there something I should worry about?

Brief Answer:
Lorinase

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.The amount of extra Lorinase given, 2ml, is so minimal that we do not have to worry about any adverse affect. if anything, it would make your son a little more drowsy within the first 24 hours of each dose. Once 24 hours pass, it would not even have that effect.
