Is It Ok If Child Has Accidentally Swallowed A Karvol Capsule?

Hi there,

We think our 2 year 9 month old son may have swallowed a Karvol capsule. He says that he didn't and we can't smell it in his mouth. If he has swallowed one, will he be ok? Will it cause him to vomit or anything more serious? Should we get him to drink milk to combat it? I'd be grateful for any advice you an give. Many thanks

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for following up. Actually, there are not contradictions for your age baby, but medicine can give allergic reaction. If your baby has allergy then better give him Charcoal 1 tablet/10 kg in other case-don't worry, just keep all medicines on the almira, very high from child.
Best regards
