Can A 2-mg Anti-diarrhea Pill Harm A 2-year-old?
Yes. I am watching my 2 year old grandson and believe I caught him just after he MAY HAVE taken one of my anti-diarrhea pills (2mg). I didn t realize the lid was left off. I contacted poison control and they thought it would be okay but are calling me back in an hour. He is napping now. I am terrified this accident could have been harmful.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is not life threatening. But he might suffer from constipation for another 3-4 days. But if he develops bloody diarrhea or abdominal distension or vomiting, he will require medical attention please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
