Question
The child weighs 34 pounds, has a runny nose and hoarseness, and accidentally took too much medication in the morning. Should I be worried? If both medications contain the same ingredient, and I’ve only taken one dose in error, it hasn’t exceeded the maximum recommended dosage, so it should be okay. Just be careful when taking medication next time.
Answer
The baby is 4 months and 7 weeks old, weighing 34 pounds, with a runny nose and hoarseness. There should be no problem if too much medication was taken by mistake in the morning. If both medications contain the same ingredient, and I’ve only taken one dose in error, it hasn’t exceeded the maximum recommended dosage, so it’s safe to be reassured. Just be careful when taking medication next time.
