Is 1.5 Tea Spoon Of Paracetamol Toxic For An Infant?
I gave my 6 weeks baby 7ml of paracetmol 250mg/5ml by accident instead of giving him 1.5ml I gave him 1.5 tsp it was his firsy and last dose. He is 4.7kg and was born in 40th week of pregnancy. Will this dose be toxic please???? He took it 20 h ago he shows no signs uptill now. I breastfed him right after. And being breastfeeding him a lot through out the day. Thank you
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but please take him to the hospital to check on his liver functions as high Paracetamol doses can be liver toxic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
