Question
Pediatric Respiratory System Issues and the Management of Expired Ambroxol Oral Solution
Answer
If a child accidentally drinks expired ambroxol oral solution, it is important to observe them closely and encourage them to drink plenty of water to promote drug excretion. Generally, the efficacy of expired medication may be reduced, and it usually does not cause other discomforts. However, since children are young, they should be monitored closely. If any discomfort is noticed, medical attention should be sought promptly to avoid delaying treatment. If a child’s respiratory system has been diagnosed, they should receive active treatment in collaboration with a doctor, including gastrointestinal decompression, and maintain good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
