Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If more than 4 hours have elapsed since he ingested the tablet (and we are not even sure that he did ingest it), I think the child should be safe.

Contact us if there is anything else you would like to know.
