On hold to nhs direct - hold my hand! Flameboy may have taken an AD

[Flamesparrow]

They are on the very highest shelf in the kitchen. He climbed on several things to get there.

He has either eaten the foil or one 20mg capsule. He just says yeh to both in a vague way

Worried He's fine in himself, but it is just minutes since it happened.

[CountessDracula]

how old is he?

[Flamesparrow]

2 1/2

[psychomum5]

oh jeez.......he will be fine but prepare to go in!!!!



ring me as soon as you are able sweetie

[psychomum5]

I know this is horrid, but could you try and make him gag and be sick???? tis not like liquic that might burn him coming back, a tab, this quick, would not yet start to disolve!

[Mamazon]

how long ago did he take it?
if its within a few minutes maybe if you give him smoe salt water to encourage him to vomit it may come out?

Im sure he will be fine but deffo get confirmation from NHS direct.

[Flamesparrow]

All ok - well below the worrying amount

[NormaStanleyBelcher]

Flameboy will be a world class rock climber when he grows up



Hope all is ok flame

[psychomum5]

and anything regarding NHS direct means take them in, you know that!!!

when max drank massage oil they sent an ambulance!

[Jas]

I agree, you'll need to get him seen, but he will be fine.

[Flamesparrow]

[psychomum5]

serioiusly, they said OK!!!



I mean, I am thrilled, but still, NHS direct normally means, "take them in we know nothing"!!

[Jas]

Aah X posts.

Now go and lock the rest in a big metal box!

[psychomum5]

assuming you will now be buying lockable cupboards to put him in store all your precious stuff!

[Flamesparrow]

Believe me - I am on freecycle for a box now, and if no luck by the end of the day I will be buying one.

Apparently it would take 3 pills to cause symptoms, and 5 before they do anything.

[psychomum5]

did they say what it could do to him tho???

I mean, would this mean he will just be very very sleepy for the next day or so.....(not that you need him to sleep or anything)

[psychomum5]

will it take away his climbing skills.....

[Flamesparrow]

sick and whingy for just "symptoms"

[Flamesparrow]

Nah, he'll be happier and more likely to climb

[TrinityRhino]

this reminds me of when I didn't bother ringing nhs 24 and just took dd2 to a and e as she had been at 100mg slow release voltarol

very old sachet in very old jacket (dh used to need them with him everywhere)

cleaning out cupboard, didn't notivce them fall out of jacket

no idea how many were in it
dound her with one in her mouth and one very sucked and more on floor

could have had 10 in the sachet but was only 5 in view

spent 6 hours in the childrens ward with a completely fine and bubbly dd2

pronounced totally fine, probably just sucked off the colour of one and didn't bother cause they tatse gross

[Flamesparrow]

Rare moment of praise for NHS Direct - they were really really good. Answered just before I pressed send on the OP, so within 10 mins had sorted it.

Very reassuring nurse. Told me exactly what she was doing all the time.

[psychomum5]

add to you hunt then a short leash to tie him somewhere, bungee style so he does not get hurt (IYGWIM).....then attach it to the firthest point away from anything climable (sp?).....

[psychomum5]

ignore all typos.......hands still not working with my brain (not that my brain worked well anyway!)

[Hangingbellyofbabylon]

wow, I've only just seen this. I'm glad nhs direct were good and that flameboy will be ok.

[Flamesparrow]
