Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Accidental Intake Of Synthyroxin By A Child Be A Matter Of Concern?
My 2 years old has swallowed some synthyroxin tablets, each 5mcg but we don t know how much , it s our guess that around 5 tablets. We already went to hospital and doctor has checked his heart beat and its normal. Doctor asked asked me to come again after 2 hours. What your opinion ?
HI Well come to HCM Even if we are not sure but looking to the drug that child has swallowed, it is necessary to keep the child under observation and sending home instead, now you need to go to the ER after two hours and if something goes wrong then no need to wait for two hours, hope this information helps, take care.
