Hi
Zentel (albendazole) dose of 15 ml in 3.5 year old is not overdosing.
The medicine has common side effects like nausea, vomiting. Probably your child had vomited for the medicine.
Medicines in pediatric age group should be used very cautiously. Overdosing, drug interactions may be very serious. You should always consult doctor before giving any medicine to your kid.
