he has taken more than 14 ml of combiflam.
Brief Answer:
He needs to be observed for the symptoms of suspected toxicity
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
As long as he has no symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, or bleeding there is nothing to worry.
Combiflam suspension contains 100 mg of Ibuprofen & 162.5 mg of Paracetamol/ 5 mL. & the usual recommended dosage is 5 mL 3 times daily.
Since he has take a larger dose of combiflam, he should be observed for the signs of toxicity like vomiting, abdominal pain or bleeding. If he develops these symptoms he should be evaluated by a child specialist for further management in the hospital.
Hope the suggestion given above could be useful.
Best regards.
