What should I do if a child eats too many anti-inflammatory drugs?

Patient's question:

She had a fever. What would be the consequences if she went home from school and secretly ate too many anti-inflammatory drugs? What should she do? The previous treatment and effectiveness: How should the medication treatment be assisted: Thank you very much to the doctor for quickly clarifying how to treat and prevent it.

Doctor's answer:

I don't know what specific anti-inflammatory medication the child took orally, but the anti-inflammatory medications generally used for fever treatment are usually cephalosporins, penicillin-based drugs, or macrolides.
Advice: Generally, if cephalosporins or penicillin-based drugs are taken orally in excess, they may cause allergic reactions, gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dry heaving), etc. If macrolides are taken orally in excess, they may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. However, be aware that cephalosporins or penicillin-based drugs can increase kidney pressure, while macrolides can increase liver pressure. If you are concerned, you can take the child to the hospital for kidney and liver function tests.
