Question
The baby has had a persistent runny nose and has already used decongestant nasal granules, anti-inflammatory granules, and acetaminophen with codeine syrup, as well as Western medicine. Due to an overdose of Western medicine, the user inquires about the possible consequences of a single overdose and whether an emergency visit is necessary.
Answer
The baby may have sinusitis rather than a cold, and should not use the acetaminophen with codeine syrup. The nasal decongestant granules and monkey ear ring anti-inflammatory granules have similar effects and should not be taken simultaneously. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital rather than a children’s hospital for a follow-up consultation. If the child does not have any special discomfort, they can drink more water to promote metabolism and there is no need to go to the hospital immediately.
