Patient's question:
After taking the licorice tablets, I experienced stomach pain, vomiting symptoms, and diarrhea.Medical history and treatment outcomes: I had my stomach pumped at the hospital, but nothing came out.
Help needed: Is licorice toxic? What should I do now.
Doctor's answer:
Glycyrrhiza tablets should not be taken more than 3 at a time, and three times a day. Did you take over 10 at once? This may lead to gastrointestinal irritation again. Currently, glycyrrhiza tablets have been classified as prescription drugs. This medication should not be used frequently in large doses, as excessive use can lead to dependence. It is recommended to drink pure milk to protect the gastric mucosa. The above advice is for the question "My son had stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea after taking over ten glycyrrhiza tablets. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
