Patient's question:
What should I do if my 2-year-old child accidentally ingests piroxicam tablets? Is it dangerous? They ate it at 9 a.m. today, and it's been 20 minutes. Please help me explain this to the doctor. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Piroxicam tablets contain a commonly used antipyretic and analgesic drug, which has some side effects. Overuse or in sensitive individuals, it may cause stomach discomfort or interfere with the body's self-healing function. Accidentally taking it once is not a problem; it may cause some stomach discomfort symptoms, but they will improve quickly. It will never lead to other issues. Drinking plenty of water can slow down the drug's excretion. Drinking a lot of milk can also reduce the impact on the stomach.
