Wrong medicine administer

Question

Asked for Male, 7 Years

Dear Sir/Madam, Today I gave my son 100 mg Eltroxin by mistake. I was supposed to swallow it for my hypothyroidism. But I fed it to Jeet instead. Now I am in a state of panic. I don't know whether it will be harmful to his health. Please guide me. Regards, Runa Sen

It is difficult to predict how he would respond to it. Keep observing him for any abnormal behavior. Give him lots of fluids so that it gets flushed out of his system ASAP.

Next Steps

If u notice anything abnormal, get him to the emergency immediately
