Question
My child accidentally ate piroxicam tablets at the age of two. What should we do? Is it dangerous?
Answer
Piroxicam tablets are a commonly used pain reliever, and usually, a single accidental ingestion is not a major concern. It may cause stomach discomfort, but these symptoms typically resolve quickly on their own without any serious consequences. To alleviate the impact on the stomach, you can give the child plenty of water to help the medication pass through the body, and drinking milk can also help reduce irritation to the stomach.
