Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My daughter is 11 months old. By mistake, I gave expired Vitazyme drops to her. After giving the dose she vomited immediately. Will this act of mine harm her?

Answered by Dr. Babu Lal Meena

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As she vomited immediately, nothing would have gone inside. So, it is unlikely that it will cause any effect on her health.

Advice:

  1. Give her a normal diet.
  2. Allow normal activity.
  3. Be cautious from the next time.
  4. Do not store expired medicines at home, since this is the principal cause of such accidents.
