    Overdose
    I accidentally grabbed the wrong medicine bottle & gave my 30 lb. 19 month old son a full tsp. of Bromfed instead of the recommended 1/4 tsp. I gave him milk hoping it will help, buy Gould I take him to the Dr.

    Does he show any symptoms of overdosing? You should contact the poison control center or the emergency room for advise. 4 times the recommended dosage is a lot and I would call the poison control center even if he shows no symptoms of overdoes, just to be sure.

    If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call the US national poison hotline at 1-800-222-1222. Canadian residents should call their local poison control center directly. Symptoms of overdose may include: agitation, confusion, flushing, hallucinations, large pupils, muscle twitching, seizures. In children, excitement may occur first, and may be followed by loss of coordination, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, seizures.
