Accidents! HELP!?

Question

gave my brother too much medicine!

hes 9

i gave him a lot more than he needed, tylenol?

any effects?

Answer 1

it depends on how much extra you gave him.  i would call his pediatrician and ask.  most have an after hours line that could assist you.

Answer 2

Firstly don't panic. The recommended dosages on packages are well below, what can be given without causing any damage.

If your brother seems ok, ring the poisons information centre and tell them how much you have given him, his age and weight.

If he is asleep and non responsive call an ambulance now.

Answer 3

Don't know.  Ring a Doctor or take him to the Hospital.

Answer 4

Well, I usually take two regular strength tylonals but a couple of times I was taking two extra strength  tylonals, which is 4 regulars and I got high.  I would fell my body numb and I would get dizzy and light headed when I moved but it passed and went back to regular.  Maybe he will feel wierd for a while but do check with poison control asap or the hospital since he's a little kid.

Answer 5

Depends on how many. If you think it was too much, take him to a docter right away.

Answer 6

you should always seek medical attention for any over consumption of medications.  tylenol overdoses can cause liver damage.

Answer 7

You can also call your local 24 hour pharmacy, and tell them what you gave your brother for dosage.  It goes more by weight and not age.
