Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.

Too much thyroxine can cause palpitation, increased body temperature and cardiac fibrillation. Though the toxic dose of thyroxin is very high, the child should be monitored. So it is better to get her admitted in a hospital for observation.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.

Regards,
