If a 10 month old baby to maybe a third of a lasix how would the baby act. He weight 18 lbs. We took him to the ER and he was check out but the only difference in him was that he was extremely sleep and was hard to wake him up. could this have been a result of the lasix??

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Overdose of lasix which is diuretic can cause electrolyte abnormality.
Electrolyte abnormality has to be considered and ruled out.
If the electrolyte level is normal then there is no cause for concern.


In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
