Hello, has anyone else had this experience?please be gentle I am already berating myself beyond belief and have put all medicines away in a locked box. On Monday night DS 2 (12.5kg) possibly (quite unlikely) drank some calpol. I'd just given him his evening dose and set it back on the table and he asked for his water cup. Without thinking I went into the next room to grab his water cup (I was gone very briefly!!just dashed next door) when I got back I realised I'd left the lid of the calpol. Now, there was no evidence he had drunk any but of course I was very briefly out of the room. It seemed to be in the same place but my brain is doing the what if, what if, thing. I told 111 and we went to a and e, we did an estimate of how much, went for worst case scenario and we were sent to monitor from home without a blood test. They were lovely and said it happens all the time but obviously I'm really upset with myself.
Mainly looking to hear if your little ones have managed to drink a fair bit of calpol and if all was fine. I keep replaying it in my head and thinking what if he had more than I thought. Bottle is the infant strength 120mg per 5ml and there is 100ml in the bottle. Anyone else had this if so how much did their DD drink and was it okay?
I know I've made a mistake so don't worry, lesson well and truly learned!
