Help please- baby has licked a tablet found in the floor.

[moneyquestions2405]

We are away on holiday and my 10 month old baby found a tablet on the floor and put it in her mouth for literally 1 second and I got it out.

It was a small yellow round tablet, that seemed to be dissolving easily.

How bad will this be?? We gave her a drink straight away and she seems totally fine.

Let us know how you get on.

Personally, if I’d got it out straight away, I wouldn’t have given it a second thought. Clearly not how most people (on MN) would react though.

Well done for going, hope you get sorted quickly.

This thread is so at odds with the smint thread.

“Lick it”

@AnnieAnoniMouse

That was my thinking, initially.

However, it had started to dissolve easily.

Never thought a tablet would melt the second it touches your tongue?

The risk is, there may have been more than one tablet & DC may have swallowed one before you saw? Or not.

Its hard for the Drs to know & so they will probably be extra cautious.

I take yellow anti histomines they look like that and they dissolve really fast

I'm concerned it could be a street drug. I'm very glad you've taken her to hospital.

She definitely could not have taken more than that. Absolutely not, 110%.

We had changed her on the floor, she rolled over, picked it up and straight in her mouth. And I straight away pulled it out. It literally happened as quick as that.

@anitagreen thank you that gives me hope, she takes anti histamines for her allergies anyway, so that would be fine. 🤞🏼

I think 5mg Diazepm tablets are yellow.

A&E straight away just to be sure she is ok.

D’oh!

Should read Diazepam.

any pharmacies in supermarkets open nearby? do not make baby sick as regurgitating somethings can hurt throat on way up

If it's easily dissolving it'll be a sublingual tablet, meant to be put under the tounge and not swallowed,

@Goodadvice1980

Just googled those, it wasn’t that shade of yellow. They are more a buttercup yellow, no writing on it.

My antidepressants dissolve really quickly. —they’re white, though—

I agree that a phone call to the owners could be helpful.

Does the hotel allow dogs? My first thought was that it looks like an ACP tablet but then I work in veterinary so only really familiar with animal drugs!

Are you on the way to A&E?

@anitagreen

Does your tablets have any writing on them?

Hope everything is ok and that it's just vit C or similar. Glad you aren't taking any risks though!

Hope the baby's ok and the doctors work out what it is quickly.

Are you at the hospital yet? I don't understand why you're still posting.

Sorry you don't know what TABLETS you have in your house?

Hope you kiddie is OK.

There’s a small yellow dissolving tablet you put under your lip to stop sickness. Buccastem.
