Is the dosage too high?Past treatment history and effectiveness: It was said that it would improve over time. What kind of help is needed: Will there be any adverse reactions?
Doctor's answer:
Scopolamine is an M-cholinergic receptor antagonist, which has the effects of relaxing spasms, promoting blood circulation, relaxing smooth muscles, expanding blood vessels, stabilizing microcirculation, and inhibiting glandular secretion. It may cause symptoms such as dry mouth, flushing, fever, and agitation.Children's dosage: 0.1-0.3 mg/kg per dose. For an 11-month-old baby, using 5 mg may be a high dose, but symptoms will subside after several hours as the drug is eliminated from the body.
