Patient's question:
Just now, my child accidentally swallowed ferrous succinate tablets and doesn't know how many he ate. He has vomited twice. It looks like he's not feeling well. Is there a serious problem? Should I take him to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition description, ferrous succinate tablets can be taken orally by normal children, but the daily oral dosage for children should not be less than 6 tablets. The key is to see how many tablets your child has taken. According to your condition description, it is not possible to perform gastric lavage on such a young child. Give your child plenty of warm water to drink, and then carefully observe your child's current physical condition to see if there are any changes. If your little one has taken less than 6 ferrous succinate tablets orally, there should not be a major problem, as it will be metabolized quickly through urine and feces.
