Patient's question:
The baby is one year and four months old. Yesterday, she had a fever and took a pack of taurine granules, the long, small packet. Then this morning, her grandmother gave her another pack. The instructions say to take half a pack only, but she has taken it twice now, with double the recommended dose. Could this be harmful to the baby?Doctor's answer:
From your description, the baby is one year and four months old. Yesterday, she had a fever and took a packet of taurine granules, which is the small, long packet. Then this morning, her grandmother gave her another packet. The instructions say to take half a packet, and it's best to use it as recommended. If you need to increase the dosage, the doctor will provide medical advice, and some can be increased on the first dose. It has already been taken, so it's a good idea to closely monitor any changes. If there are any abnormalities, hospitalization for a thorough examination and symptomatic treatment may be necessary. Currently, she can drink more boiled water.
