Brief Answer:
Observe for signs of toxicity,visit your pediatrician accordingly
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
Although the toxic dose of thyroxine is much higher than the consumed dose.
Still I would suggest you to observe for symptoms of toxicity like fever,rapid heart rate,breathing difficulty,sweating,anxiety or irritability, loose stool or vomiting.
If you notice any please consult your pediatrician immediately.
Chance of toxicity is very less after 12-24 hours if symptoms not appear till that time.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
