Brief Answer:
Side effects unlikely at this dose

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

50 mcg of Thyronorm (thyroxin) is unlikely to cause any adverse effects. I would insist you to be patient and to observe the child. The possible side effects can be:
* Restlessness, agitation, sleeplessness
* Increased body temperature and sweating
* Palpitation and increased heart rate.

If apprehensive you can visit the ER.
