no need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Don't worry.
Nothing will happen. At the most it can cause dryness of mouth and constipation.
No treatment is required.
If your baby becomes drowsy or not feeding well consult your pediatrician.
If he is active and playful no need to worry.
Regards
Dr Arun

He was doing good, I think he gulped about 3-4 drops. I did not notice anything unusual so far.. he was cheerful and slept happily. Thanks for your advice I'll ping you again if I notice anything.

Today morning he had swollen eyes and was crying but may not due to the medicine ingested yesterday. Cleaned his eyes with hot wet cloth, he is fine now.
