Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writingto health care magic.
Usual dose is maximum of 1ml.
10ml is definitely high.
But do not worry.
Your daughter will recover soon. Usually the fever and ear pain should settle with crocin.
Do not repeat any further dose of colimax.
It doesn't cause any serious side effects apart from vomiting and diarrhoea. If that happens ensure you give her plenty of oral electral to drink.
There is no antidote but your kid will recover soon.
Ensure she drinks plenty of liquids once she wakes up.
Always give medicines within the required dose. Never overdose especially with kids since they are affected more than adults.
Regards
Dr Arun
