Patient's question:
My mother-in-law was feeding the baby fish liver oil, but by mistake, she gave three tubes instead of three drops. It has been two days since I realized it. There's nothing, I don't know what to do. Will there be any long-term effects?Doctor's answer:
Fish oil is mainly rich in vitamins A and D, primarily used to treat vitamin A and D deficiency. If taken in excessive amounts at once, it will not be dangerous, but it may cause a buildup of vitamin A, leading to temporary yellowing of the eyes. Don't worry, it's not a serious issue. It is recommended to increase dietary intake to enhance its metabolism. For babies, vitamin D can be given for 25 days and then stopped for 5-6 days. In the next month, focus on taking it, and it should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
