Hello Woke up this morning and found my three and a half year old son with an empty box of nelsons teetha granules. 23 powder sachets open and mostly empty. The granules are kept in a drawer very high up- about 6ft high- but he'd manage to climb up somehow. The max doseage is six every 24 hours. he seems absolutely fine... I'm calling my GP and NHS 24. Any one else has had any similar experiences? Thanks

They are sugar!
And some homeopathic twaddle.
I'm sure he will be fine.

Oh no! Homeopathic overdose! He'll be fine, it's just sugar Smile

If you have any actual medicines up there though he's done you a favour by letting you know they're not as secure as you thought.

There will be no problem at all.

Actually, just looked at the website - 'Also contains Lactose, Xylitol and starch.' - is xylitol the one that gives you the shits?
