Patient's question:
What should I do if a child accidentally swallows melatonin?Doctor's answer:
Melanin in the legs is a neurotransmitter that primarily plays a role in maintaining sleep.Advice: It's unlikely that giving a child a small amount of medication will cause significant side effects. We recommend that the child drink more water. The child may sleep more than usual, and even if side effects occur, a good night's sleep should resolve the issue. There's no need to induce vomiting.
