Suggest Treatment For Accidental Ingestion Of Xanax By A 5 Year Old
My almost five year old found a Xanax half milligram that I dropped on the floor and couldn t find, I saw her chewing something and sure enough it was that half milligram Xanax. Will she simply sleep or could her breathing stop? She s also on her pediatric dose of benadryl for nighttime allergies that cause her to couch due to postnatal drip. Will she be alright or should I take her to the er?
