hello dear!
As your history suggest,he took a bit of a tablet and threw that too because of the taste.I think i completely safe in this aspect.i dont think there is any need of taking him to the hospital. The toxic dose is very high of this drug and he didnt even took a whole tablet,so its completely safe.There wont be any side effect.Dont you worry. Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
