Hello Sir

I ask my mother about the number of tablets she consumed, so she told me that she consumed 1-2 tablets.

I asked her to drink Salt water for doing vomting, so that all the tablet contents can be removed from body.

She does the same with in half an hour of consuming the tablets.
Is still the situation is serious or I should wait for 24 Hours.
