What Effects Does Intake Of Sudafed Have On 3 Year Old Baby?
I do not know if my three year old took a sudafed or not while his daddy was suppose to be watching him. He has speech deficits. He says yes when I show him the meds and ask. Is there anything I should be looking for to make the rush to local er? And for how long? Thank you.

Hello
Sudafed is pseudoephedrine and prescribed in both children , infants and also in adults .
Dosage are 15 mg /kg body weight 3-4 times in days i.e. its effect will retain for not more than 6 hours .
There are so many side effects, but these are minor and not harmful.
Rebound congestion, fear , confusion , dryness of mouth , insomnia, nausea , vomiting( if taken for prolong time)
But as I mentioned earlier , these are rare side effects not dangerous , so you should not worry .
Good luck.
