Patient's question:
What are the side effects of a 4-year-old child eating 6 packs of children's cough and phlegm granules at once?Doctor's answer:
Children's Stop Cough Granules contain ephedrine hydrochloride, Platycodon root tincture, Mori bark tincture, and senna extract. Ephedrine may cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, tachycardia, and excessive sweating. Overdose can easily harm the liver and kidneys, so children should be given plenty of water or undergo gastric lavage treatment at the hospital. It is recommended to visit the hospital tomorrow to check liver and kidney function. If damage has occurred, hospitalization treatment will be necessary.
