What should I do if the child eats too much pseudoephedrine and guaifenesin solution?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I mistakenly gave my child 2 milliliters more of the Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin solution yesterday. What should I do?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Good
What kind of help do you want: I want to ask the doctor what to do

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to explain the issue for you. Methylphenidate and pseudoephedrine solution is primarily used to relieve symptoms such as cough, hiccups, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sore throat caused by common or epidemic fever. Adverse reactions are generally mild and may include symptoms such as loss of appetite, dizziness, and nausea. If the child accidentally takes two milliliters more, the overdose amount is small, and it is usually not a serious problem. It is recommended to drink more water to enhance metabolism, while also avoiding taking other medications with the same ingredients as much as possible.
