What Should Be Done After A Child Swallows NP Thyroid?

My 2-year old may have swallowed my thyroid medicine (NP Thyroid TAB 90mg; sub for Amour Thyro Tab 90mg). I don't know for sure that he took the pill, and I know for certain that 1-2 is the most amount of pills that could have even been in the bottle. What should I do?

Hi,

I am sorry for the accident happened to your boy. I advise to do the following if:

- you know that he has swallowed the pills within the last 2 hours. In this case, give him plenty of warm water to drink. In this way, he will vomit the pill together with stomach content.

- if you do not know the time when he swallowed the pills, then, observe if unusual changes will happen to him. You should send to ER for further evaluations.

Hope it was of help!
