Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Consuming Expired Medicine Cause Any Problem In Kids?
I gave my 4 years old son (40 lb) an Ultrafen (iBuprofen) 200mg suppository (to treat 38.8C fever). After one hour he got a rash all over his body and I discovered than the medicine was expired (12/2010). His temperature is down now and the rash is gone.Is there anything I should do now? I gave him one (from the expired suppository) yesterday too.
HI...as of now you need not worry if he is other wise active. But as there was rash on his body, I suggest you take him to the nearest physician and get his vitals checked. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
