Seriously panicking.

Stupidly went for a shower earlier with 5 y/o DS watching tv
Were in a flat so I can see him, he is ND.

Came out of the bathroom to find he’s been in my work bag, opened my paracetamol capsules and all the powder is on the floor. I didn’t even realise my work bag was on the floor.

I don’t think he’ll have eaten any of it, he said no but I am still so panicked. There was a lot of the powder.

Anyone advise?

I’d go to A&E for paracetamol levels, just in case (unless you know for sure he’s had access to less than the maximum dosage)

He’s emptied 6 of them. I know there was a lot of the stuff on the floor. I can’t smell it on his hands or anything and he is averse to medicine anyway.

I'd call 111 to be on the safe side.

Do you know how many capsules you had and how many are left? (Roughly)

Don't panic yet

Can you make him vomit? But to be honest they taste so bad I'm sure he would be crying if he tasted it

How many tablets were in there?
